Epidemiological characteristics and environmental surveillance of human psittacosis in Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, China (2021-2024).
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 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
Introduction: Psittacosis, caused by Methods: We conducted a multi-source epidemiological study (2021-2024) integrating surveillance data, clinical records, contact investigations, and environmental sampling. Cases were confirmed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) or metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). Results: We identified 28 laboratory-confirmed cases, showing annual fluctuations in reported case numbers. Infections, mostly confirmed by mNGS, were predominantly sporadic among elderly agricultural workers (mean age 62.6 years), with 96.4% reporting recent poultry exposure. All patients presented with pneumonia; 64.3% developed severe disease, resulting in three deaths. The median diagnostic delay-from symptom onset to diagnosis-was 12 days. A household cluster of three cases was detected; however, no secondary transmission occurred among 205 close contacts outside the household. Discussion:
