Vaccinia virus viability under different environmental conditions and different disinfectants treatment.
Article in Biosafety and health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Monkeypox (mpox) outbreak in 2022 has caused more than 91,000 cases, has spread to 115 countries, regions, and territories, and has thus attracted much attention. The stability of poxvirus particles in the environment is recognized as an important factor in determining their transmission. However, few studies have investigated the persistence of poxviruses on material surfaces under various environmental conditions, and their sensitivity to biocides. Here, we systematically measured the stability of vaccinia virus (VACV) under different environmental conditions and sensitivity to inactivation methods via plaque assay, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), and Gaussia luciferase (G-luciferase) reporter system. The results show that VACV is stable on the surface of stainless steel, glass, clothing, plastic, towel, A4 paper, and tissue and persists much longer at 4 °C and -20 °C, but is effectively inactivated by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, heat treatment, and chemical reagents. Our study raises the awareness of long persistence of poxviruses in the environment and provides a simple solution to inactivate poxviruses using common disinfectants, which is expected to help the control and prevention of mpox virus and future poxvirus outbreaks.
