A novel lineage of polyomaviruses identified in bark scorpions.
Article in Virology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
Polyomaviruses are non-enveloped viruses with circular double-stranded DNA genomes (~4-7 kb). Initially identified in mammals, polyomaviruses have now been identified in birds and a few fish species. Although fragmentary polyomavirus-like sequences have been detected as apparent 'hitchhikers' in shotgun genomics datasets of various arthropods, the possible diversity of these viruses in invertebrates remains unclear. Scorpions are predatory arachnids that are among the oldest terrestrial animals. Using high-throughput sequencing and traditional molecular techniques we determine the genome sequences of eight novel polyomaviruses in scorpions (Centruroides sculpturatus) from the greater Phoenix area, Arizona, USA. Analysis of Centruroides transcriptomic datasets elucidated the splicing of the viral late gene array, which is more complex than that of vertebrate polyomaviruses. Phylogenetic analysis provides further evidence of co-divergence of polyomaviruses with their hosts, suggesting that at least one ancestral species of polyomaviruses was circulating amongst the primitive common ancestors of arthropods and chordates.
