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
backgroundOropouche virus (OROV), an arbovirus endemic to the Amazon region, has recently expanded into non-endemic areas including Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil.
objectiveTo characterise the spatio-temporal dynamics and ecological factors associated with OROV transmission in Rio de Janeiro during 2024-2025.
methodsWe analysed OROV case-associated ecological factors and performed a phylodynamic analysis on 40 viral genomes, comprising 35 new and five published sequences, sampled from 15 municipalities across the state during 2024-2025.
findingsOROV cases showed significant positive correlations with forest area (r = 0.50, p < 0.0001), banana harvest area (r = 0.39, p < 0.01), and cassava harvest area (r = 0.29, p < 0.05); but these factors were autocorrelated, suggesting a confounded relationship. We identified two OROV sub-clades circulating in the Rio de Janeiro State. The OROVRJ/ES sub-clade was likely introduced into the Southern Fluminense region around January 2024, spread primarily by short (> 2 km, 50% of events) and mid-distance movements (2-9 km; 30%) with a mean dispersal rate of 0.3 km/day, and seed outbreaks in Metropolitan and Northwest Fluminense regions in 2025. The OROVES-I clade was likely introduced into Central Fluminense and Coastal Lowlands regions, later spreading to the Northern Fluminense region. MAIN
conclusionsFollowing its introduction in early 2024, OROV persisted in Rio de Janeiro State by spreading through short-distance movements among municipalities with high forest cover and agricultural areas. The sustained multi-year OROV transmission in the Atlantic Forest biome highlights the potential for establishment of endemic cycles beyond the Amazon region and the need for enhanced surveillance in extra-Amazonian areas, where OROV will evolve in a different ecosystem.
