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

Arboviruses impose a major public health burden in Latin America and the Caribbean due to widespread and potentially severe infections causing microcephaly and long-lasting arthralgia. Beyond canonical vector-borne transmission, the magnitude and risk factors for transfusion-transmitted infections (TTIs) are unclear. In this narrative report, we use analyses of virological data such as infection symptomatology, viremic periods, and viral loads, to argue that dengue, Oropouche, Zika, yellow fever, and Chikungunya viruses pose an under-investigated risk of TTIs. An analysis of socioeconomic data showed that blood donation rates in Latin America and the Caribbean correlated with gross domestic product (r = 0.53,
