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

Mpox in humans is a rash illness resulting from infection with monkeypox virus (MPXV). In 2022, a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) was declared with 115 countries reporting cases of Mpox. Most of these countries had not previously reported cases. This global outbreak was sustained primarily by human-to-human transmission within complex sexual networks. Whilst these cases were similar to previous clade II West African MPXV isolates, they were sufficiently genomically distinct to result in WHO recognizing two subclades within clade II: clade IIa and clade IIb. In 2024, a second PHEIC was declared, resulting from a marked increase in cases of clade I MPXV. In this scoping review, we compare the major clinical, epidemiological, and genomic features of the major mpox lineages and the implications for vaccination, transmission, infection control and treatment..
