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

Trichinella spp. nematodes are parasites that can cause trichinellosis in humans after consumption of infected, undercooked meat. A November 2024 trichinellosis outbreak in western North Carolina, USA, resulted in 3 cases (2 probable, 1 confirmed), all linked to undercooked bear jerky. In total, 6 persons consumed the implicated meat (attack rate 50%). Molecular testing identified Trichinella spiralis in leftover meat from the same bear. This outbreak provides evidence of changing trichinellosis patterns. Low-cost safety measures and prevention efforts regarding safe wild game preparation are needed to avoid future outbreaks.
