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

An outbreak of measles virus genotype B3 is ongoing in Milan and surrounding areas since February 2025, with 27 cases identified in 32 laboratory-confirmed measles cases. Most cases were locally acquired and young adults. Phylogenetic analysis indicated the presence of a unique lineage closely related to strains circulating in Morocco. The lack of epidemiological links between several affected individuals suggests case numbers are being underestimated. The continuous transmission raises concerns about the potential re-establishment of endemic circulation in northern Italy.
