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

Rodents play a pivotal role in the maintenance and transmission of zoonotic viruses. The Yili River Valley, one of the most biodiverse regions in Xinjiang, functions as a critical biogeographic corridor linking China with Central and Western Asia, and historically with Europe via the ancient Silk Road. Despite its significance, the viral landscape of this region remains largely unexplored. To elucidate the virological landscape of this understudied region, meta-transcriptomic sequencing was conducted on wild rodent samples collected between 2020 and 2023, encompassing multiple host species and tissue types (liver, lung, spleen, and intestine). Analysis identified 18 vertebrate-associated viral families, including several of known zoonotic or evolutionary relevance, such as
