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

Bats are important reservoirs of zoonotic viruses, yet the role of their obligate ectoparasites, particularly bat flies, in viral maintenance and transmission remains poorly understood. Although viral sequences have been detected in adult bat flies, vertical transmission to their offspring has not been investigated. Here, we present the first metagenomic analysis of bat fly pupae to assess transgenerational viral persistence. Eighty pupae associated with a large
