Silent threat in honey bee colonies: infection dynamics and molecular epidemiological assessment of black queen cell virus in Turkey.
Article in Archives of virology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Viruses can have devastating effects and cause epidemics in honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies. Black queen cell virus (BQCV), which is one of the most common honey bee viruses, affects queen bee larvae and their pupae. This study provides information on the dynamics of BQCV infection in honey bees, using molecular diagnostics to investigate the effects of other pathogens and seasonal patterns that are considered relevant to the epidemiology of BQCV. The results showed a relatively high prevalence of the viruses studied. The prevalence of BQCV, acute bee paralysis virus, and deformed wing virus in worker bees was found to be 90%, 62%, and 84%, respectively. The prevalence of BQCV was 58% in larvae and pupae. Furthermore, the prevalence of Nosema ceranae was 46% in worker bees. Statistical analysis showed possible combined effects of BQCV and other examined viruses in terms of infection dynamics, while BQCV did not show seasonal variation. The BQCV isolates detected in this study were placed in a phylogenetic framework using sequence data from comprehensive sampling in previous studies. The analysis suggested that the Turkish strains of BQCV clustered together with Australian and European strains and consisted of homogeneous populations that had evolved from a common ancestor. This is the first report of BQCV infection dynamics in honey bees in Turkey.
