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

Monkeypox is a zoonosis caused by the monkeypox virus. In 2022, the World Health Organization declared monkeypox a Public Health Emergency of International Concern due to its unprecedented global spread. Since June 2023, several new cases have re-emerged in mainland China, underscoring the ongoing transmission risk. Our three cases, confirmed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction with dermoscopic and histopathological findings supporting diagnosis, exhibited atypical symptoms consistent with skin contact-mediated transmission. We propose that, in some patients, lesions may initially develop at the site of contact without preceding systemic symptoms and later disseminate to other body regions.
