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
In January 2024, an outbreak of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) was confirmed in Buyanja village, Lyantonde District, Uganda. Initially suspected to be anthrax, laboratory tests at the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) confirmed CCHF, prompting a One Health response. Five (5) human cases were confirmed through both Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction(RT-PCR) and IgM Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) testing, all of which were associated with direct contact with livestock, particularly goats. Among the twenty-six goats sampled, 88% (23/26) tested positive for CCHFV-specific IgG antibodies, indicating prior exposure. All the goat samples were negative by PCR, suggesting no active infection at the time of testing. Molecular sequencing revealed viral strains clustering in the Africa II clade, with multiple S-segment lineages circulating. These findings support localized virus persistence in Lyantonde area and highlight occupational exposure risks in Uganda's cattle corridor. Strengthening One Health surveillance with emphasis on veterinary services integration is critical to CCHF control.
