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.
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
Objective: In light of growing concerns regarding potential increases in porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2)-associated diseases in Quebec between 2021 and 2022, the objective was to characterize PCV2 genotype diversity in Canada. Samples and procedure: A total of 54 analyzed samples (2021 to 2023) either were submitted by veterinarians to the Molecular Diagnostic Laboratory (MDL) of the Centre de Diagnostic Vétérinaire de l'Université de Montréal (CDVUM) or were collected from pigs necropsied at the Quebec Ministry of Agriculture, Fishery and Food (MAPAQ) laboratories. The sick pigs from which samples were collected had various clinical signs, including those of PCV2-associated diseases. Whole-genome sequencing for PCV2 was done either by Sanger sequencing from 2 PCR amplicons covering the entire viral genome or by high-throughput sequencing. Results: The main PCV2 subtype identified as circulating in Canada was PCV2d (48.1%). Only 1 strain clustered into the PCV2e subtype (1.9%). In previous reports, PCV2b was the main subtype present in the field. However, only 5 PCV2b sequences (9.3%) were identified in 2022 and 2023. Conclusion and clinical relevance: This is apparently the first official identification of PCV2d and 2e genotypes in diseased Canadian pigs. Results also provided an overview of PCV2 strains now circulating in Canada compared to reports from 2007 to 2008.
