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

introductionAfrican swine fever (ASF) is a contagious viral disease that affects pigs and wild boars, with a mortality rate of up to 100% in susceptible animals. The virus has been circulating in Europe and Asia since its introduction in 2007. Initially, all studied isolates were identified as genotype II, but in 2021 genotype I was reported in China. Later in 2023, the first recombinant virus of genotype I and II was identified in China, with an isolate dating back to 2021, this was followed by the detection of 6 recombinant isolates in Vietnam.

methodsIn this study, an ASFV isolate from the Primorsky Region of Russia obtained from a domestic pig was analyzed by sequencing several genome markers as well as the full genome. Eight pigs were infected with the isolate to assess its virulence.

resultsVirus replication in cell culture showed hemadsorption, while sequencing of genome markers clustered the isolate into both genotype I and genotype II. The whole-genome sequence showed that the Russian isolate shared a 99.99% identity with recombinant isolates described earlier in China. Experimental animals developed ASF disease after the introduction of a low dose of the virus (10 HAU50) and died within 7 days post-infection, presenting an acute form of the disease.

conclusionThis is the first report on recombinant ASFV in Russia's territory. The results once again confirm the transboundary nature of the disease, demonstrating the vulnerability of the global pig industry underscoring the need for developing new ASF vaccines effective against recombinant strains and emphasizing the importance of continuous molecular monitoring to detect emerging threats promptly.
