Orthohantavirus rodent hosts and genotypes in Southern South America: A narrative review.
Review in PLoS neglected tropical diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Orthohantaviruses, family Hantaviridae, are zoonotic agents that pose a significant public health threat, particularly in South America, where they cause severe respiratory illnesses in humans. Despite their importance, knowledge gaps remain regarding the distributions of both the viruses and their rodent hosts in Southern South America, a region characterized by a great complexity of viral genotypes and reservoirs. This review provides an updated overview of orthohantavirus hosts and their associated viral genotypes in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Through an extensive literature review, we identified 14 rodent species that serve as reservoir hosts for 15 distinct orthohantavirus genotypes. These rodent hosts inhabit a variety of ecosystems, from forests and arid zones to grasslands and wetlands, and even modified or anthropized habitats, demonstrating a wide geographic and ecological range. Our findings highlight the diversity of orthohantaviruses in this region, reflecting their complex evolutionary histories. Maintaining an up-to-date knowledge base on this topic is essential for effective decision-making in public health.
