Virulence of Burkholderia pseudomallei Strains from Western Hemisphere and Africa in Mice.
Article in Emerging infectious diseases, 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
Melioidosis, caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, is an emerging disease in the United States and was declared endemic to the Gulf Coast region in 2022. Melioidosis has been sporadically reported in the American continents, the Caribbean, and more recently in Africa. We conducted lethal dose analyses in BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice exposed to small particle aerosols of B. pseudomallei strains from the Western Hemisphere and Africa. Those isolates exhibit a variety of virulence patterns, including rapidly-lethal disease and delayed onset of fatal disease. We found that the isolates we tested grew similarly in culture but displayed major differences in biofilm formation. Our data contribute to the growing knowledge of geographically distinct B. pseudomallei isolates and aid in ensuring that medical countermeasures in development are effective against a diverse collection of bacterial strains.
