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

Bats are commonly thought to harbour a high diversity and abundance of RNA viruses, some of which are able to jump species boundaries to emerge in new hosts. However, gaps remain in our understanding of the ecological factors that shape the bat virome and influence the diversity, circulation and population persistence of viral infections. Flying foxes (Pteropodidae) are representative of the chiropteran fauna in Australia, holding significant ecological, cultural, and social importance. However, some species have also been linked to the circulation of mammalian pathogens such as Hendra virus and Australian bat lyssavirus. Here, we characterised the RNA virome of the Christmas Island flying fox (
