Mpox and Viral Co-Infections: A Narrative Review.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Monkeypox (Mpox), caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV), has emerged as a significant global public health concern, particularly following a substantial multi-country outbreak in mid-2022. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported 109,699 laboratory-confirmed Mpox cases and 236 fatalities worldwide from January 1, 2022, to September 30, 2024. This narrative review aims to evaluate the co-infections of Mpox with various viral agents and assess their implications for public health. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive review of the literature regarding Mpox co-infections with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), hepatitis viruses (hepatitis A virus (HAV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV)), and herpesviruses (including herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1, HSV-2, varicella-zoster virus (VZV), and cytomegalovirus (CMV)). Results: We analyzed epidemiological trends, clinical manifestations, preventive measures, treatment guidelines, and advanced diagnostic methodologies. The review highlights the intricate dynamics of Mpox co-infections and underscores the necessity for comprehensive diagnostic approaches, including viral load assays, to evaluate active co-infections, particularly for HIV and HBV. Conclusion: Understanding the interplay between MPXV and other viral pathogens is crucial for enhancing management strategies for co-infections. By addressing these complexities, we aim to contribute valuable insights into the public health implications of Mpox co-infections and improve response strategies.
