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

Background: In December 2025, an outbreak of acute conjunctivitis emerged at a primary school in Hangzhou, China, affecting 48 students and yielding an attack rate of 2. 16%. The outbreak is of particular significance as it was attributed to Methods: An epidemiological investigation, a case-control study, and laboratory analyses-comprising multiplex real-time PCR and bacterial culture-were conducted to determine the etiological agent and the source of transmission. Results: A significant association was established between the outbreak and a recent educational field trip (OR = 6.42, 95% CI: 3.53-11.68), suggesting that such organized group activities may represent an important transmission setting for bacterial conjunctivitis. Laboratory analyses confirmed the presence of Conclusion: This investigation underscores the distinct transmission risks inherent to field trips and emphasizes the imperative of embedding comprehensive infection prevention and control measures into the foundational planning of such activities.
