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

backgroundThis study systematically analyzed the prevalence of Hantavirus (HVs) in small mammals across Southeast Asia to evaluate the risks of this zoonotic disease.

methodsWe searched the Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library for studies published up to 6 February 2025, extracted data from 28 eligible studies.

resultsMeta-analysis revealed a pooled prevalence of HVs was 6.07% (986/11,806) in small mammals in Southeast Asia, with the highest prevalence in Indonesia (17.49%) and Singapore (10.53%). The prevalence was higher in samples detected by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (10.68%) and in rodents (8.07%).

conclusionsThe results of our study highlight the urgency of strengthening surveillance in trade networks with Southeast Asia, particularly in high-risk areas such as Indonesia and Singapore, to mitigate the threat of imported zoonotic diseases.
