Using Phylogenetic Analysis to Detect National and International Dimensions of Hepatitis C Virus 1b Transmission Clusters - China, 1989-2021.
Article in China CDC weekly, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
What is already known about this topic?: Phylogenetic analysis has revolutionized the detection and understanding of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) transmission patterns. What is added by this report?: Three distinct transmission cluster patterns were identified across China: a large cluster with nationwide distribution, two medium clusters predominantly in the Central and Eastern China, and 103 small clusters scattered across 19 provincial-level administrative divisions (PLADs). Each cluster type exhibited unique characteristics of expansion risk and inter-provincial transmission patterns. No genetic linkages were found between Chinese sequences and those from other countries. What are the implications for public health practice?: These findings underscore the critical need for a comprehensive national molecular epidemiological surveillance network.
