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

The prevalence of Human T-cell Lymphotropic Virus (HTLV) infections in Grenada has not been published since 2013. This study aimed to determine the combined seroprevalence and trends in HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 among pregnant women in Grenada from 2015 to 2024. Data were analyzed to determine the overall combined seroprevalence, observed trends, and public health implications over time. Data obtained from the Ministry of Health, Grenada, were analyzed to determine and compare the annual combined seroprevalence rate and the prevalence by age group and by health district during 2015-2024. Every pregnant woman included in the analysis was tested for HTLV-1 and -2 at the government's public laboratories in Grenada. The overall rate of infection among persons tested was 1.45%. The highest prevalence of infection was among the 40+ (mature) age group. A significant association was found between HTLV infection and the mature age group (ϰ
