Orthoflavivirus nilense surveillance in the State of Piauí, northeastern Brazil.
Article in Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 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
backgroundThe cycle of the Orthoflavivirus nilense (West Nile virus - WNV) involves birds and mosquitoes, while humans and equids serve as terminal hosts. In 2014, the first human case in Brazil was confirmed in Piauí State.
objectivesTo investigate the presence of WNV in birds, mosquitoes, and equids in municipalities of Piauí.
methodsCollections were carried out following recommendations from the Ministry of Health of Brazil, in 11 municipalities (all with human cases or bird mortality), where biological samples were collected from birds, mosquitoes, and equids. The Viral RNA extraction was performed using a commercial kit, following the manufacturers' recommendations; samples were subjected to reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction, with specific primers for WNV.
findings2,706 samples were collected (636 birds, belonging to 99 species; 420 equids, and 1,650 mosquitoes, grouped into 346 pools, totaling 18 species. No collected sample yielded a positive result, corroborating with other studies showing the difficulty of molecular detection of WNV in healthy animals, which may explain the non-detection, in addition to the delayed diagnosis in humans. MAIN
conclusionsA local investigation involving suspected cases is still recommended in animals; however, in locations with late diagnosis in humans we suggest a serological survey of asymptomatic birds and equids.
