Evaluation of a Novel Multiplex PCR Assay for Vesicular Viruses.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 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
Differentiation and detection of viruses causing vesicular/mucocutaneous lesions are essential for patient management. This study evaluated the analytical and clinical performance of the Novaplex™ HSV-1&2/VZV/MPXV multiplex real-time PCR assay (Novaplex), designed for the simultaneous detection of monkeypox virus (MPXV), herpes virus types 1 and 2 (HSV), and varicella-zoster virus (VZV). It was compared with Singleplex PCRs as reference methods. Analytical sensitivity was assessed only for MPXV using viral stocks of clades Ia, Ib, and IIb, while clinical performances for HSV, VZV and MPXV were evaluated on 93 residual clinical samples. Novaplex discriminated clade II from clade I viruses and demonstrated low limits of detection for MPXV (clade Ia: 2.9 Log TCID
