Epidemiological and Clinical Characteristics of Patients Admitted to a Secondary Hospital with Suspected MPOX Virus Infection: Is HIV Playing a Role?
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 6 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
MPOX (monkeypox) is a zoonotic viral disease, endemic in some Central and West African countries. However, in May 2022, cases began to be reported in non-endemic countries, demonstrating community transmission. Since the beginning of the outbreak, different epidemiological and clinical behaviors have been observed. We conducted an observational study at a secondary hospital in Madrid to characterize suspected and confirmed cases of MPOX epidemiologically and clinically. Besides the general descriptive analysis, we compared data between HIV-positive and HIV-negative subjects; 133 patients were evaluated with suspected MPOX, of which 100 were confirmed. Regarding positive cases, 71.0% were HIV positive, and 99.0% were men with a mean age of 33. In the previous year, 97.6% reported having sex with men, 53.6% used apps for sexual encounters, 22.9% practiced chemsex, and 16.7% went to saunas. Inguinal adenopathies were significantly higher in MPOX cases (54.0% vs. 12.1%,
