Two decades of occurrence of non-pathogenic rabbit lagoviruses in Italy and their genomic characterization.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Lagoviruses are viruses of the Caliciviridae family affecting lagomorphs. Both pathogenic and non-pathogenic lagoviruses affect the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), and they are phylogenetically distinguished. Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV/GI.1) and Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus-2 (RHDV-2/GI.2) belong to the first group, while in the second group, several genotypes of Rabbit Calicivirus (RCV/GI.3-GI.4) are present. The first RCV strain was described in Italy in 1996, and since then, several RCV strains have been characterised in Europe and Australia. RCVs, different from the pathogenic hepatotropic RHDVs, have an enteric tropism and could be identified from the duodenum/intestine and faeces. This study aimed firstly to indirectly show through a seroepidemiological survey from 1998 to 2008 the circulation of RCVs strains in rabbit farms and then to genetically characterise RCV strains diagnosed in Italy in faecal and intestinal samples of wild and farmed rabbits collected in various regions in the following years (2000-2022). Of 262 analysed samples, 69 resulted in RT-PCR positive for lagovirus but negative for RHDV. Eleven RCV strains were characterised by complete vp60 sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the Italian RCV strains are grouped in European (RCV_E1/GI.3) and Australian (RCV_E2/GI.4) RCV clusters, with an estimated country prevalence of 26%. Based on the proposed genotype classification, considering the nucleotide differences of vp60 higher than 15%, we can hypothesise that two other genotypes, GI.5 and GI.6, might exist within the cluster of non-pathogenic viruses.
