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

Avian influenza (AIV) remains a global concern not only for humans as a pandemic threat but pose a risk to poultry, wildlife, and livestock. The detection of AIV in the environment traditionally has relied on reactive surveillance, limiting proactive response. This study assessed the detection of Pan-influenza A virus (Pan-FluA) and hemagglutinin subtype H5 genes in surface water using novel passive samplers and molecular analyses. Pan-FluA RNA was detected at concentrations from 2.1 × 10
