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

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is an important pathogen in the swine industry. We report for the first time the detection of NADC34-like PRRSV strains in Japan. Serum samples from 18 piglets in Okinawa Prefecture were analyzed for the open reading frame 5 (ORF5) gene encoding glycoprotein 5, which revealed that all samples belonged to sublineage 1.5 (L1A) of Lineage 1. Phylogenetic analysis, restriction fragment length polymorphism patterns, and glycosylation site characteristics confirmed the presence of NADC34-like strains that caused severe outbreaks in the U.S. and Asia. Despite its known pathogenicity, the farm showed only a transient increase in mortality. These findings highlight the need for further investigation into the pathogenicity of PRRSV strains and their potential for the emergence of new variants in Japan.
