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

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) remains a recurrent threat to poultry production and One-Health surveillance in India. We developed a national relative spatial risk map for India using curated outbreak records spanning January 2006 to April 2024 (predominantly HPAI H5N1 and H5N8), buffered pseudo-absence sampling, H3 resolution-7 hexagons, and 94 environmental, livestock, land-cover, and anthropogenic predictors. Under 5-fold spatial block cross-validation, eight base classifiers were trained and all performed above chance (AUC > 0.76). The Gaussian-process stacked meta-learner achieved the highest AUC (0.853), but the improvement over the strongest individual base learner, Random Forest (AUC 0.851; Brier 0.155; ECE 0.079), was small and statistically non-significant. Its principal added value was a companion uncertainty layer, the GPR posterior standard deviation, which showed internal consistency with ensemble disagreement across base models (
