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

Hantaviruses are emerging zoonotic pathogens responsible for two severe clinical syndromes: (i) haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and (ii) hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS), collectively causing more than 200,000 human cases annually worldwide. Despite their public-health importance, the molecular mechanisms governing the host response and the population-level dynamics of rodent-to-human spillover remain incompletely characterised. The timeliness of this framework is underscored by the April-May 2026 outbreak of Andes orthohantavirus aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship, the first such cluster in a maritime setting, with three deaths reported across multiple countries. This event revealed critical gaps in existing models that treat humans solely as dead-end spillover hosts. Our coupled Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered-Dead (SEIRD) model assumes no human-to-human transmission and is therefore designed for hantavirus strains where spillover does not lead to secondary human cases, specifically Hantaan virus (HTNV), Puumala virus (PUUV), Sin Nombre virus (SNV), and Dobrava-Belgrade virus (DOBV). The Andes virus (ANDV) outbreak aboard the MV Hondius is used as a real-world case study to assess the boundaries of our model and to motivate future extensions, not as a direct validation target for its quantitative predictions. Here, we present an integrated computational study combining three complementary analyses. First, we performed a preliminary phylogenetic analysis of the viral sequence, identifying
