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

In June 2016, a disease characterised by intestinal haemorrhage with a mortality rate of approximately 5% was observed in a duck farm in Shandong province, China. Here, we report the isolation and characterisation of a reovirus from duck tissue samples by inoculating duck embryos and duck embryo fibroblasts (DEF). The isolate replicated in DEF and Vero cells and formed syncytia. Sequence analysis revealed that the viral genome was 23,434 nt in length with typical structure organization, consisting of 10 dsRNA segments ranging from 3998 nt (L1) to 1190 nt (S4) in size, and was genetically distinct from previous Chinese duck-origin reoviruses. Phylogenetic analyses showed that the isolate was most closely related to the recently reported duck reovirus D2533/6/1-10 isolated in Germany, forming a monophyletic branch different from known reference avian reoviruses. Experimental infection results indicated that the isolate replicated transiently in ducklings and was shed via faeces. Infection with the isolate caused epithelial cell damage and lymphocyte apoptotic death in the bursa of Fabricius, which may result in immunosuppression in infected ducklings. The role of the isolate in current duck haemorrhage enteritis remains to be determined, but its damage to the bursa warrants further investigation of the duck immune response.
