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 registryThe 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.

6 · The paper itselfAbstract
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is a ubiquitous human pathogen that may cause acute liver disease. Despite the availability of effective vaccines, high prevalence rates are still reported in Southeast Asia and Africa, where sanitation conditions are poor. Although seven genotypes are known, including three in humans, three in non-human primates (NHP), and one recently identified in alpacas, the diversity, ecology, and evolutionary history of HAV remain poorly understood. In a pilot study of virome molecular characterization of wild African apes by using oligonucleotide probes enrichment, HAV sequences were detected in two animals (2/105; 1.9%): one from a western lowland gorilla (
