UV-C Irradiation Effectiveness on Mpox-Virus-Contaminated Surfaces.
Article in Pathogens (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionMpox virus (MpoxV), an emerging zoonotic pathogen, has recently caused global concern due to increasing outbreaks beyond its traditional endemic regions. While transmission primarily occurs via close contact, fomites are also suspected of contributing. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of UV-C irradiation on MpoxV-contaminated surfaces.
methodsthe virucidal activity of UV-C (254 nm) irradiation on MpoxV applied to plastic, glass, and stainless-steel surfaces was assessed. Using a viral stock of 2.49 × 10
resultsA UV-C dose of 6.34 mJ/cm
conclusionsUV-C irradiation at low doses effectively inactivated MpoxV on various fomites. These findings support UV-C as a rapid and effective environmental disinfection strategy in healthcare and community settings to prevent indirect transmission of MpoxV.
