Rapidly Progressing Melioidosis Outbreak in City Center Zoo, Hong Kong, 2024.
Article in Emerging infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
In October 2024, twelve primates from 4 species died of sepsis at the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens. Postmortem examinations and microbiological analyses confirmed Burkholderia pseudomallei infection. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a clonal sequence type 46 strain with minimal variation, signifying a single source. This outbreak highlights melioidosis risk in zoo settings.
