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
This study aimed to assess mpox virus (MPXV) seroprevalence in South Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo, where a large mpox outbreak started at the end of 2023. A community-based surveys was conducted in urban (April-May 2023) and rural (July-August 2024) areas and a multiplex serological assay to detect anti-IgG against MPXV has been used. MPXV seroprevalence was 3.3% in the urban survey (n = 1174) and 8.3% in the rural survey (n = 981), with differences according to health zone (
