Point-of-care routine laboratory testing for patients with suspected viral hemorrhagic fevers.
Review in Antimicrobial stewardship & healthcare epidemiology : ASHE, 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
When a suspected viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) case presents to a healthcare facility, healthcare personnel must be able to safely provide initial stabilizing care, which may involve performing basic routine laboratory testing. Current gaps exist in the ability of frontline acute care hospitals to safely perform routine laboratory tests on patients with suspected VHFs that generate category A waste. This review outlines a potential solution for frontline acute care hospitals to perform electrolytes, hemoglobin/hematocrit, and malaria testing, in accordance with National Special Pathogens System guidelines, in the patient's isolation room. We discuss guidance on laboratory risk assessment, equipment considerations, space requirements, staffing solutions, waste management, cost estimates, and remaining challenges. Our manuscript provides frontline acute care hospitals with a potential solution to safely provide a minimum set of routine laboratory tests for patients with suspected VHF.
