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

In 2025, Taiwan implemented paired sera surveillance among occupational contacts of avian influenza viruses (AIVs). Of 122 contacts analyzed, 117 (95.9%) remained asymptomatic with high personal protective equipment compliance (91.8%). No seroconversion was detected against AIV A(H5N2) clade 2.3.4.4b. These findings suggest a low risk of human infection despite persistent poultry outbreaks, provide timely serological evidence during the ongoing outbreak, and demonstrate the effectiveness of Taiwan's integrated human-animal surveillance in early risk characterization.
