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

Avian reoviruses (ARVs) are ubiquitous and play a role in diseases affecting various organs in chickens and turkeys. In recent years, tenosynovitis and lameness emerged as the most frequently reported clinical conditions. In this report, we describe a case of neurological disease associated with ARV infection in 4-week-old turkeys in Alberta. A flock of 7650 commercial turkey toms exhibited neurological signs such as torticollis and ataxia that affected ~3 to 4% of birds in the flock. Histologic examination of brain samples collected at 6 wk revealed nonsuppurative encephalitis. A pooled brain sample was positive for ARV by PCR. By 9 wk of age, birds in the flock started developing lameness with no apparent neurological involvement, and tendon samples were positive by PCR. Partial sigma C gene amino acid sequences were obtained for the brain and tendon samples and were 91.4% identical. The brain and tendon samples showed 95.5% and 97.7% amino acid identities to ARVs from Ontario (ARV/Turkey/ON/17-049928) and Pennsylvania (ARV/Turkey/PA/01769-14), respectively. Similar cases are currently being investigated in western Canada. Key clinical message: Avian reoviruses should be considered one of the differential diagnoses in cases of neurological signs in commercial birds.
