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

A decade has elapsed since the first recognized cluster of congenital anomalies associated with Zika virus (ZIKV) was reported in Brazil in 2015, culminating in the formal delineation of Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS) as a specific pattern of birth defects. This narrative review examines the ten-year trajectory of CZS as a tropical infectious disease, from its initial emergence and public health emergency declaration by the World Health Organization (WHO) in February 2016, through evolving epidemiological, clinical, and scientific understanding. CZS is characterized by a spectrum of severe neurological manifestations-including microcephaly, subcortical calcifications, malformations of cortical development, ventriculomegaly, and corpus callosum abnormalities-alongside ophthalmic, auditory, and musculoskeletal complications.
