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

backgroundGrass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) hemorrhagic disease (GCHD) is a devastating disease that leads to substantial economic losses in the freshwater aquaculture industry.

resultsIn this study, we investigated an outbreak of GCHD in large-scale grass carp and identified GCRV-II infection. Notably, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining showed severe histopathological changes in the spleen, head kidney, gill, and gut. Furthermore, we sequenced the entire genome of the viral isolate, and multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that it represents a novel strain of GCRV-II, provisionally named GCRV-YX246. Finally, artificial infection experiments confirmed the strong virulence, high mortality, and severe pathological damage caused by GCRV-YX246, as demonstrated through artificial infection.

conclusionsA novel reovirus from large-scale grass carp cultured in China was identified. The discovery of this novel GCRV-II strain enhances our understanding of GCRV-II biology and provides valuable insights for developing more effective prevention strategies for GCHD.
