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

The emergence and circulation of duck reovirus have caused severe threats to domestic waterfowl production because of the lethal infections they cause in ducks and geese. However, the evolution of circulating duck reoviruses and their replication and pathogenicity in domestic birds have not been fully investigated. In this study, we identified and isolated six duck reoviruses from clinical samples of sick or deceased farmed ducks and geese and sequenced their full genomes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the evolutionary landscape of duck reoviruses and the complex reassortment of these circulating viruses with avian orthoreovirus and Muscovy duck reovirus. Animal infection studies revealed differences in the replication and pathogenicity of the reoviruses identified in this study in ducks, geese and chickens. Lethal infection with highly pathogenic viruses causes severe focal necrosis and hemorrhage in the liver, spleen, bursa of Fabricius and thymus, resulting in high mortality in inoculated birds. Importantly, chickens are susceptible to circulating duck reovirus, highlighting the potential risk of duck reovirus infection in chickens. Our study revealed the evolution, pathogenicity and potential cross-species transmission risk of duck reoviruses, further emphasizing the importance of continued and systemic surveillance at the interface of domestic waterfowl and chickens.
