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

This study aimed to classify the Feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) infection outcomes in domestic cats in Thailand and determine the accuracy of conjunctival swabs for FeLV proviral DNA detection by comparing results to PCR testing of blood samples. Whole blood and conjunctival swabs were collected from 126 cats with and without clinical signs. Blood specimens were evaluated for p27 FeLV antigen using the SNAP Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)/FeLV Combo Test, IDEXX Laboratories. The 3'-LTR region of the proviral FeLV was amplified from both blood and conjunctival samples. The prevalence rates of progressive and regressive FeLV infections in this study were 14.3% (95% CI: 8.69-21.63) and 36.5% (95% CI: 28.12-45.55), respectively. Cats older than 12 months of age had a higher probability of being regressively infected than cats younger than 1 year (
