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

The family Smacoviridae (order Cremevirales, class Arfiviricetes, phylum Cressdnaviricota) is comprised of viruses with small circular single-stranded DNA genomes of ~2.3-3 kb in length that have primarily been identified in fecal sample of various animals. Smacovirus genomes carry two genes in ambisense orientation encoding a capsid protein and a rolling-circle replication initiation protein, respectively. We have revised the taxonomy of the family by assigning 138 new genomic sequences deposited in GenBank to already established taxa as well as 41 new species and six new genera. Furthermore, we have adopted binomial species nomenclature, conforming to the "Genus + freeform epithet" format for all 84 species from 12 genera. The updated Smacoviridae taxonomy presented in this article has been ratified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV).
