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 first highly pathogenic H5N1 emerged in 1959 on a chicken farm in Scotland. The ancestor of the strains presently circulating was isolated in 1996 from a domestic goose in China. Since 1997, more than 900 severe human infections have been reported. However, in nearly thirty years, H5N1 has failed to adapt to human-to-human transmission. At present the abundant circulation in various animal species, including mammals, increases the possibility of reassortments of new pandemic strains. Particularly alarming was the recent report of H5N1 infection among U.S. dairy cattle. A strong international effort from a global health perspective addressed to limit the avian strains circulation and to improve the preparedness for a new pandemic is urgently needed.
