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

Commensal small mammals, such as rats and shrews, are recognized reservoirs for numerous zoonotic pathogens; however, their role in pathogen circulation at transport hubs remains underexplored. This study employs shotgun metagenomic sequencing to characterize microbial communities and assess zoonotic potential in tissue samples from commensal small mammals captured at Bangkok Port, an international cargo shipping hub in Thailand between June and August 2025. Following host read depletion, taxonomic profiling was performed to identify bacterial taxa of public health relevance, including sequences assigned to
