Emerging Mammarenaviruses in Wildlife: Expanding Host Range and Implications.
Review in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Mammarenaviruses are enveloped, ambisense, single-stranded RNA viruses capable of causing fatal hemorrhagic fevers and severe neurological disorders in humans. Although muroid rodents have historically been recognized as the primary reservoirs for major pathogens like Lassa virus, recent surveillance has revealed a significant expansion of their host range. This review aims to synthesize current global data regarding the epidemiology of mammarenaviruses in conventional reservoirs and the emergence of novel arenaviruses in non-traditional mammalian hosts. To achieve this, we comprehensively analyzed recent molecular and metagenomic surveillance data, evolutionary studies, and epidemiological reports published worldwide. Key discoveries include Wenzhou virus in Asian house shrews, Plateau Pika virus in plateau pikas, and an independent, geographically clustered of hedgehog-associated arenaviruses across Europe. Ultimately, this review underscores the global distribution of these pathogens and the critical need for continued, multi-host surveillance worldwide.
