Avoidance of infection.
Article in Current biology : CB, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Since our first understanding of the nature of pathogen and parasite transmission, avoidance of infectious diseases has been an essential component of public health and epidemic suppression. Avoidance reduces an individual's risk of contacting pathogens. Humans are not the only host organisms that avoid their pathogens and parasites, though. In nature, infection avoidance is widespread in vertebrates, invertebrates, and even plants. Examining avoidance from this unified taxonomic perspective gives insights into its function, form, evolution, and application. In this Primer, we functionally define avoidance, outline its taxonomic breadth, provide an overview of what is known about its mechanisms and evolution, and identify applications of basic avoidance knowledge across fields as diverse as public health, conservation, and agriculture. We also highlight key open questions directing research into the future.
