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

A high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) subtype H7N6 virus emerged in South African poultry in 2023 and later spread to Mozambique, the first documented emergence of H7 HPAI in the African continent. A total of 6.82 million birds succumbed to the disease or were culled, representing about 20% of the South African egg-laying flock and almost 30% of the broiler breeder flock. The complete genomes of 68 outbreak viruses were sequenced and analyzed, tracing the phylogenetic origins of the ancestral H7N6 virus to a reassortment of various subtypes that circulated in southern African wild birds. Molecular clock analysis determined that the virus emerged in the first week of May 2023, probably in a smallholder chicken flock, before spreading to commercial farms, where the disease was first reported in early June. The multibasic hemagglutinin protein cleavage site (HA
