Superspreading in transmission is a feature of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on globally reported dispersion parameters of SARS-CoV-2. The pooled estimate was 0.55 (95% CI: 0.30, 0.79). The study location and method were found to be important drivers for its diversity.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
