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

Objectives: To evaluate the zoonotic risk of Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify documented human B virus infections between 1932 and 2024. International trade records for Results: Among 33 documented infections, most were occupational exposures in laboratory settings. Recent cases highlight non-occupational risks, including viral reactivation decades after exposure. From 2019 to 2022, exporter-reported CITES data documented over 170,000 live macaques in international trade, with an increasing proportional share of wild-caught animals. Regulatory frameworks varied by country, with South Korea relying on recommendation-based biosafety oversight, whereas the U.S. applies legally binding import-control measures. Conclusions: Although rare, B virus poses a severe and underappreciated zoonotic threat. The increasing wild-caught macaque trade and gaps in quarantine protocols necessitate stronger international coordination and the implementation of standardized biosafety regulations within a One Health framework.
