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

Schmallenberg virus (SBV) and bluetongue virus (BTV) are both transmitted by Culicoides biting midges and infect predominantly ruminants. To investigate the extent of virus spread in the 2022 and 2023 vector seasons, we serologically tested wild ruminants from western Germany. While antibodies against BTV were not detected in any animal, regardless of age or sampling time, numerous wild ruminants tested positive for antibodies to SBV. In 2022, a low seroprevalence of 4.92% was measured. In sharp contrast, 40.15% of the animals tested positive in 2023. Of the young animals, about 31.82% were seropositive, clearly indicating large-scale SBV circulation in summer and autumn 2023.
