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

Infections with divergent strains of astroviruses appear to be endemic in commercial poultry. In order to investigate enteric viruses associated with hatchery condemnations in Nigerian poultry, an indirect immunofluorescence test with CAstV-612- (Group A), CAstV-11672- (Group B) and ANV-1-infected cells was used to screen sera obtained from commercial broilers (n = 164) and turkeys (n = 97) in farms and hatcheries in southwest Nigeria. Of the 261 sera tested, 16 (6.1%) were positive for CAstV antibodies after immunofluorescent staining with CAstV-11672-infected cells. Thirteen (81.3%) of the positive sera were from broilers with three (18.7%) being from turkeys. Conversely, all tested sera were negative for CAstV-612 and ANV-1 antibodies. Since CAstV-11672, a group B CAstV is known to be antigenically and genetically distinct from CAstV-612 that belongs to group A, these findings reveal that the circulating serotype of CAstV in commercial broilers and turkeys in southwest Nigeria belongs to group B of CAstV. Education of veterinary personnel and poultry farmers about this emerging virus and its impact on commercial poultry in Nigeria, as well as continuous monitoring of chicken and turkey flocks for infections caused by it are therefore imperative in order to facilitate the implementation of effective prevention and control measures.
