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

Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, has shifted from a regional concern to a global health priority. Progress toward targeted antivirals and vaccines, however, still hinges on a complex array of animal models developed over the last sixty years. This review distills all literature regarding Mpox animal models - from rodent to non-human primate species - into a clear, comparative narrative. We outline how host species, viral clade, and inoculation route shape clinical course and immune responses, and we identify which models best address questions of pathogenesis, transmission, and medical countermeasure efficacy. The resulting roadmap is designed to help researchers, funders, and regulators select the most informative tools and streamline mpox drug discovery pipelines.
