1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The newly emerged avian influenza A H5N1 Clade 2.3.4.4b can infect dairy cows and shed live virus in their milk. Sporadic cattle-to-human infections have been reported, highlighting the urgent need to understand its pathogenesis in mammals. Using both non-lactating and lactating BALB/c mice, we examined the viral tissue tropism, histopathological damages, and host immune responses upon intranasal inoculation with a reverse-genetic virus constructed based on A/dairy cattle/Texas/24-008749-003/2024 (Cattle-H5N1) and comparing with an older reference Clade 1 virus, A/Vietnam/1194/2004 virus (VNM1194-H5N1). Cattle-H5N1 was highly lethal in mice (mLD
