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

Getah virus (GETV) is a mosquito-borne RNA virus whose cross-species transmission poses a potential threat to both animal and public health. Studies have revealed that the reservoir range of GETV is broad, ranging from primary vectors (e.g., mosquitoes) and key amplifying hosts (e.g., horses and pigs) to a variety of newly identified hosts such as foxes, cattle, red pandas, and squirrels. Notably, although no confirmed clinical cases in humans have been reported to date, serological evidence from healthy individuals and febrile patients in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and Oceania suggests possible subclinical or past infections. Furthermore, the detection of GETV in wastewater treatment plants and its contamination of veterinary vaccines underscore the risks of environmental and iatrogenic transmission. These findings demonstrate the broad host diversity and multiple transmission routes of GETV, highlighting the need to monitor and mitigate its cross-species transmission risks. This review comprehensively summarizes the known reservoirs of GETV, with the aim of informing future research and control strategies.
