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

During November 2023-April 2024, a total of 1,543 horses with neurologic disease from rural areas in 17 provinces of Argentina were reported to national animal health authorities. Nested reverse transcription PCR, quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR, and sequencing of equine brain necropsies confirmed western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV) infection in 23 horses and 1 sheep. Phylogenetic analyses identified a lineage previously detected in Argentina in 1957, overlapping areas affected during the 1980s epizootics. Overall, we aspirated 1,362 female mosquitoes (12 species) from 1 of the most affected areas; Aedes (Ochlerotatus) albifasciatus (70.1%) and Ae. (Ochlerotatus) scapularis (26.8%) mosquitoes were the most abundant species. Three of 27 mosquito pools (n = 1,089 mosquitoes) were identified as WEEV positive (2 Ae. albifasciatus, 1 Ae. scapularis). Increased rainfall, agricultural expansion, vector proliferation, and low vaccination coverage were likely key factors contributing to the reemergence of WEEV.
