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

During the winter of 2022/2023, Japan experienced its largest outbreak of high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI), affecting 84 poultry premises. In this study, we investigated the pathogenicity and antigenicity of A/chicken/Kagoshima/22A1T/2022 (Kagoshima/22A1T), a clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 virus belonging to the G2b group. It was isolated from a poultry farm in Izumi City, where the largest number of consecutive cases was recorded. The 50% lethal dose, mean death time (MDT), amount of virus shed, and transmissibility in chickens of Kagoshima/22A1T were similar to those of A/chicken/Kagoshima/21A6T/2022 (Kagoshima/21A6T), the previous season's isolate of the same group, indicating that their pathogenicities were comparable. However, the antigenicity of these isolates differed according to the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test results. We found that the amino acid substitutions in residues 189 and 193, corresponding to antigenic site B in the H3 virus of the HA1 subunit, could have an impact on the HI cross-reactivity of Kagoshima/21A6T. This study provides important insights into the factors contributing to the consecutive HPAI outbreaks on poultry farms in Izumi City during the 2022/2023 season and the prediction of antigenic changes in G2b group HPAI viruses.
