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

African swine fever (ASF) is a notifiable contagious disease caused by the African swine fever virus (ASFV), leading to a serious socio-economic impact, constraining pig industry, and affecting food security worldwide. This study aimed to detect and characterize ASFV strains from suspected infected domestic pigs in two South-Kivu province districts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). A total of 155 pig samples were screened for viral DNA and sequencing at multiple loci. An infection rate of 5.2% (8/155) was recorded from a total of 155 blood samples with the highest ASFV infection rate of 8% for Uvira (6/75) and mostly in female pigs 5 (7.6%). Most ASF associated clinical signs were redness on the skin and snout at 49% (95% CI: 21-34), followed by the unwillingness of pigs to stand at 29 % (95%, CI: 19-35).
