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

Arboviruses such as dengue virus (DENV), chikungunya virus (CHIKV), and Zika virus (ZIKV) are transmitted by IMPORTANCE: Arboviruses, including dengue virus (DENV), chikungunya virus (CHIKV), and Zika virus (ZIKV), are expanding their range and threatening global public health. Yunnan, situated along the China-Southeast Asia border, is highly susceptible to viral introduction. By applying viral metagenomic sequencing to acute febrile patients, this study uncovered a comprehensive spectrum of pathogens and the co-circulation of DENV, CHIKV, and ZIKV. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that arboviruses were closely related to strains from Myanmar and Thailand, indicating possible frequent cross-border viral introductions. Meanwhile, we reconstructed the global transmission pathways of CHIKV through Bayesian spatiotemporal analysis, providing valuable insights for regional prevention and control of arboviruses. These findings demonstrate that Yunnan serves as a critical interface for viral importation and underscore the urgent need to strengthen border surveillance and early warning systems to mitigate the spread of arboviruses.
