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

There is currently limited epidemiological information about cat aggressions in Mexico. We analyzed the data of cat attacks on humans recorded between 2018 and 2023 in people attending health services in the state of Yucatan. A retrospective study was performed based on a database provided by the Yucatan Ministry of Health (SSY), which included reports of animal bites to people. Sociodemographic variables and event characteristics were selected and standardized for analysis. A total of 699 cat attacks were recorded out of 8845 animal bite reports (7.9%) during the studied period. The municipality of Merida had a higher number of reports than the rest of the municipalities in the state (
