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 current era of emerging infectious disease demands an elaboration of critical geography's approach to biosecurity. We argue for further engagement with historicizations of empire to tease out the racialized, colonial, and class structures that create biosecurity crises and solutions. We suggest that work in political economy and critical surveillance studies offers ways to untangle the processes of racial capitalism, extraction, and racial imprinting that create multi-scalar vulnerability in the first instance. By shifting analyses to those marginalized by dominant biosecurity mechanisms, we develop a critical biosecurity consciousness that provides a positive conception of justice.
