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

Ephemeroviruses (EVs) are arthropod-borne rhabdoviruses and were isolated exclusively from cattle and haematophagous arthropods until two new ephemeroviruses were first identified from domestic pigs most recently. Here we report the identification of newer EVs in wild boar by meta-transcriptomic (MTT) sequencing. Further screening by specific RT-nPCR of tissue samples of 459 free-ranging wild boars collected between 2018 and 2023 from 26 provinces across China confirmed five positive wild boars in four provinces. Interestingly, two ticks especially collected from two positive wild boars were also EV positive. Finally, four complete genome sequences of wild boar ephemeroviruses (WbEVs) were obtained with two strains belonging to a new EV species, and the rest two falling into porcine ephemerovirus 2 (PoEV2) species identified from domestic pigs. Our study has further extended EV host range and demonstrated natural circulations of divergent EVs in wild boars, in which ticks may play roles. Biological implications of EV infection in wild boars should be interesting topics for future investigations.
