Molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of porcine circovirus 2 from Kerala, India.

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
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), the causative agent of porcine circovirus-associated diseases (PCVADs), has a worldwide distribution, and is considered as one of the most important emerging viral pathogens of economic importance. In Kerala, a total of 62 tissue samples were collected during post mortem from pigs suspected to have died of PCV2 infection. The animals exhibited symptoms like respiratory illness, gradual wasting, rough hair coat, polypnoea, dyspnoea, pallor, diarrhoea, icterus, etc. PCV2 was detected in 36 (58.06%) samples by PCR. Phylogenetic analyses of complete ORF2, and complete genome sequences were carried out and genotypes 2d, 2 h and 2b were detected. The genotype predominant in Kerala was 2d. It was observed that genotypes 2 h and 2b have been recently introduced into North Kerala as it was not detected in the region prior to 2016. Close relationship of Kerala sequences with sequences from Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and Mizoram were noticed in the phylogenetic tree and also at the amino acid level. A unique K243N mutation was observed in one of the samples. It was also noticed that the most variable amino acid position in ORF2 was 169 where the occurrence of three possible amino acids were observed. The results of the study indicate that multiple genotypes of PCV2 are prevalent in pigs in Kerala and that the percent positivity is higher than that recorded in the State previously.
