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

African swine fever (ASF) is a severe hemorrhagic disease of suids caused by the African swine fever virus (ASFV). In 2023, the introduction of genotype II ASFV into Lombardy was a cause for serious concern; the region is home to approximately 50% of the national pig population and is of economic importance to the processing industry of the entire country. Since then, two ASF epidemics have resulted in a total of 30 outbreaks in domestic pigs in the same areas of Lombardy, where the disease is endemic in wild boars. The results of the control activities conducted in the affected areas seem to indicate the establishment of self-sustaining infection cycles in the wild boar population with spillover and spillback events occurring between wild boars and domestic pigs. This manuscript describes some epidemiological features of the ASF epidemics in Lombardy with the aim of providing useful information to combat the disease.
