Editorial: Rapid Testing for the Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus is Urgently Required as Infections in Poultry and Dairy Cows are on the Rise, and so is Transmission to Humans.
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Currently, there have been no identified cases of human-to-human transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) virus. However, there is increasing concern that infections in poultry and cattle with transmission to humans are growing due to inadequate control measures. In March 2025, the Deputy Director-General of the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) issued a directive with concerns about infection control in poultry and dairy cows. In January 2025, the World Health Organization (WHO) published data on the cumulative number of reported and confirmed human cases of avian influenza A(H5N1) in 24 countries, including 964 cases with 466 deaths, which gives a mortality rate of 48%. Therefore, potential mortality from human infection with avian influenza A(H5N1) exceeds that of infection with SARS-CoV-2, which caused the COVID-19 pandemic, where mortality rates were between 10-20% before vaccines were available. Improved measures are required for surveillance, prevention, and control of avian influenza A(H5N1), which depends on accurate and rapid viral testing. This editorial presents the current status of avian influenza A(H5N1) virus transmission to humans and why rapid viral testing is urgently required.
