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

In January 2026, 2 days after the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Verification Commission (RVC) for the European Region declared the re-establishment of endemic measles transmission in Spain, an outbreak linked to an office building, occurred in the city of Alicante, with 34 cases (median age: 44 years; interquartile range (IQR): 43-47) including 23 women and 11 men. Key factors shaping this outbreak underscore challenges and possible ways to regain transmission control, which might have relevance for re-achieving elimination status in Spain.
