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

Arboviruses evolve under unique ecological constraints imposed by their dual replication cycles in vertebrate and arthropod hosts. This dual-host requirement results in markedly low substitution rates, which complicate molecular clock calibration, particularly when temporal sampling spans only narrow time windows. For RNA arboviruses, wide sampling windows are especially rare due to the intrinsic instability of RNA. Here, we demonstrate that ethanol-preserved museum specimens can help overcome these temporal limitations. We successfully recovered the coding-complete genome of a bandavirus, a negative-sense segmented RNA virus that clusters with the highly pathogenic human severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus. The virus was detected in a Common pipistrelle (
