Investigation and Response to a Single Cat Injuring Multiple People - Shandong Province, China, 2026.
Article in China CDC weekly, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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?: Rabies is an almost universally fatal zoonosis; dogs remain China's main human exposure source. Cats are generally not persistent rabies reservoirs; most feline infections result from spillover from rabid dogs or wildlife. However, feline rabies has been documented worldwide. What is added by this report?: This report describes a laboratory-confirmed incident in which one stray cat successively attacked two people in Shandong Province, China, in 2026. Rabies virus nucleic acid was detected in cat brain and saliva specimens; whole-genome sequencing showed extremely high homology with two canine-derived strains from Henan. What are the implications for public health practice?: Large-scale canine vaccination and strengthened dog source management, including registration, confinement or tethering, and collection and sheltering of strays, should remain core interventions for blocking rabies spillover at its source. Cats should also be formally incorporated into rabies prevention and control systems.
