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 April 2026, several cases of severe respiratory illnesses were reported aboard the cruise ship MV Hondius during its voyage from Argentina. Subsequent laboratory testing identified Andes virus (ANDV), a hantavirus subtype, with rare but documented human-to-human transmission. Although hantavirus infections are uncommon, both hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Their rapid progression and potential need for intensive respiratory support continue to pose important challenges for emergency departments, intensive care units, and radiology services. Because pulmonary imaging findings often evolve quickly, radiologists play a critical role in early recognition and triage. This review provides an overview of the pathophysiology, imaging manifestations, and operational considerations relevant to hantavirus infection in emergency radiology practice.
