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
Mpox is a viral zoonotic disease characterized by flu-like symptoms followed by rash, which can be difficult to distinguish from other rash-presenting infections. Laboratory diagnosis is essential for confirming monkeypox virus (MPXV) infection; However, challenges in specimen transport and storage in endemic regions, especially in rural areas with limited infrastructure, hinder timely diagnosis. This study evaluates the use of SDS-EDTA-treated chromatography paper strips for testing different viral dilutions of MPXV, varicella-zoster virus (VZV), herpes simplex viruses 1 (HSV-1) and 2 (HSV-2) under different storage durations and temperatures. The results showed that all viral dilutions could be reliably detected even after 120 days at 37 °C. Notably, MPXV concentrations as low as 2 copies/µL were detected, highlighting the clinical relevance of these strips. This method could enhance mpox testing in resource-limited areas by overcoming logistical barriers, offering a cost-effective and reliable alternative for specimen collection, transport and storage in regions affected by mpox outbreaks.
