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

The orf virus (ORFV) is a neglected zoonotic virus, with sporadic human infections, historically identified through clinical suspicion rather than molecular confirmation. We report the first molecularly confirmed human ORFV case in Portugal and the first goat-associated human-derived ORFV genome. Direct hybrid capture sequencing of a clinical biopsy from a veterinary student bitten by a goat yielded a 129.5 kb genome. Phylogenetic analysis placed the isolate within a goat-associated cluster, distinct from the two previously available human-derived genomes. This case highlights the value of molecular surveillance and genomic sequencing for One Health surveillance of neglected zoonoses.
