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

What is already known about this topic?: Inhaling What is added by this report?: On May 2, 2026, a Beijing hospital reported confirmed inhalational anthrax in a Kaifeng resident. Exposure to a previously contaminated environment was the probable route of infection, and targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) was key to the diagnosis. What are the implications for public health practice?: This report offers a reference for investigating and managing inhalational anthrax in patients without a clear occupational or exposure history; for conditions that resist rapid diagnosis, tNGS may aid preliminary diagnosis.
