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

In June 2025, two autochthonous Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever cases were recorded in Greece; a fatal index case and a healthcare worker secondarily infected. With only one autochthonous case previously reported in Greece, in 2008, this event was unexpected and triggered a One Health response: cases investigation, contact tracing, infection prevention and control guidance, field investigation, preventive measures targeting vectors and possible animal hosts, as well as awareness-raising measures. Although Greece is non-endemic for Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever, some neighbouring countries are endemic, and this event underscores the need for enhanced surveillance, vigilance and multisectoral collaboration.
