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

Infection with salmon gill poxvirus (SGPV) can cause severe gill pathology, leading to respiratory distress and high mortality rates in salmon hatcheries, known as salmon gill poxvirus disease. While the infection has been documented in salmon at sea, broodfish and wild salmon, its occurrence in salmon alevins remains unreported. This study presents four trials aiming to infect salmon alevins with SGPV, focusing on variations in storage conditions, processing of the infectious material and cohabitation. Utilising RNAscope in situ hybridisation and PCR techniques, we show that epithelial cells in the gills, oral cavity and skin of Atlantic salmon alevins can indeed be infected with SGPV. Moreover, our findings revealed that storing the challenge material at - 20°C compromises the virus infectivity. In contrast, preservation at - 80°C retains infectivity, even in the supernatant of homogenised infected gills.
