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

Between 8 March and 6 June 2025, 365 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (167) and wild (198) birds across 24 countries in Europe. HPAI A(H5N1) virus detections were predominant and mainly located in western, central and south-eastern Europe. Most detections in wild birds concerned waterfowl, particularly swans and geese, but also gulls were involved. Poultry establishments, particularly domestic ducks and chickens, continued to be affected in large numbers in Hungary and Poland. In mammals, HPAI A(H5N1) and A(H5N5) virus detections were reported in a domestic cat, red foxes, Eurasian otters and grey seals. For the first time ever, HPAI A(H5N1) viral infection was detected in a sheep in the United Kingdom. Outside Europe, the United States of America (USA) continued to report A(H5N1) virus detections in dairy cattle, while the virus was found for the first time in a gray fox (USA), a leopard cat (South Korea) and a long-tailed weasel (USA). Between 8 March and 6 June 2025, 20 cases of avian influenza virus infection in humans, including four deaths, were reported in six countries: Bangladesh (two A(H5N1) cases), Cambodia (two A(H5N1) cases), China (one A(H10N3), one A(H5N1), and 11 A(H9N2) cases), India (one A(H5N1) case), Mexico (one A(H5N1) case), and Viet Nam (one A(H5N1) case). Most of the A(H5N1) human cases (
