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

H9N2 avian influenza virus poses a persistent public health concern due to its zoonotic potential. This study investigated the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of human H9N2 avian influenza infection in Changsha City, along with related environmental surveillance data, to provide a scientific basis for disease prevention and control. From January 2015 to December 2025, a total of 11 human H9N2 avian influenza cases were collected from historical surveillance data of the Changsha CDC in Changsha City. Cases occurred sporadically throughout the year; most (90.91%, 10/11) were mild, one severe case was co-infected with two types of respiratory pathogens, and the majority (72.73%, 8/11) were children under 5 years old. Among the 10 cases with available exposure history, 70.00% had been exposed to live poultry or LPMs, with the H9 and N2 subtypes detected in related environmental samples at rates of about 76%. Genetic analysis showed that the H9N2 viruses from human cases were highly homologous to H9N2 viruses found in the live poultry environment in Changsha City, while also exhibiting diverse mutations in key functional sites and domains. Environmental samples from large live poultry markets exhibited a significant year-on-year increase in positive rate (χ
