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 field of infectious diseases is at a perilous moment in our history, with the United States executive branch of government and congressional enablers contemptuous toward truth, public health, and social justice, implementing regressive policies that promise to undo decades of scientific and social progress and directly threaten the lives of individuals from vulnerable communities that we serve around the world. In this perspective, we recount the early executive actions that impact every aspect of the field infectious diseases. Inspired by LGBTQ+ community activists and early human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) clinicians who overcame hostile political forces, we implore the infectious diseases community to urgently and forcefully defend the people for whom we care, the public health institutions on which we rely, and the principles in which we believe.
