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

Rwanda has experienced recurrent Rift Valley fever virus outbreaks in the last decade. In this study, we investigated whether these outbreaks resulted from repeated introductions or sustained local circulation. We generated RVFV whole-genome sequences from livestock samples collected between 2022 and 2025 using Nanopore sequencing. Genomic analyses indicated the outbreaks resulted from sustained local circulation of lineage C rather than repeated introductions, suggesting ongoing transmission likely driven by sporadic spillover. This study underscores the importance of continuous genomic One Health surveillance in endemic settings.
