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

Background: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is one of the important endemic diseases in swine populations. Monitoring PRRS frequency in commercial herd populations has often been based on laboratory submissions. However, a limitation of this approach is that new clinical outbreaks of PRRS are challenging to identify if epidemiological information is not provided. This hinders the estimation of basic measures such as incidence. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to describe a system to monitor new clinical outbreaks in Ontario sow herds and to report the incidence of clinical PRRS outbreaks in a subset of Ontario sow herds. Procedure: We compared herd-level outbreak data from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019. Cases were confirmed as positive based on observation of sow herds with typical clinical signs suggestive of PRRS, followed by laboratory confirmation of the PRRS virus. Results and conclusion: The incidences from year to year were similar (
