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

Orthohantavirus hantanense (HTNV) is a zoonotic pathogen transmitted by rodents and the causative agent of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in East Asia. Long-term reservoir population ecology studies have enhanced our understanding of hantavirus infection patterns and support disease risk assessments critical for military and civilian populations in HTNV high-risk areas. Here, we evaluated fluctuations in the population dynamics of Apodemus agrarius, the primary reservoir of HTNV, assessed hantavirus seroprevalence, and conducted a descriptive analysis of HFRS disease risks in the Republic of Korea (ROK). From 2000 to 2019, a total of 12,476 small mammals representing 15 species were captured across locations spanning northern to southern regions. A. agrarius was the most frequently collected species in the ROK, with juvenile populations peaking during the late fall/winter seasons. A high proportion of A. agrarius captured at military installations/training sites near the Demilitarized Zone tested seropositive for immunoglobulin G antibodies against HTNV, whereas none of those trapped in Jeollanam Province were seropositive. Risk assessment identified high-risk HFRS zones in northern Gyeonggi and Gangwon Provinces. This study provides important insights for forecasting heightened viral transmission risks to humans and implementing targeted mitigation strategies in HFRS high-risk regions of the ROK.
