Prevalence and Diversity of Haemosporidian-Associated Matryoshka RNA Viruses in a Natural Population of Wild Birds.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Matryoshka RNA viruses (MaRNAV) have recently been identified in association with haemosporidian parasites infecting both humans and birds, suggesting a potential role in host-parasite interactions. However, their prevalence, diversity, and ecological significance in avian hosts remain poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we investigated MaRNAV in wild bird populations in the San Francisco Bay Area. To investigate this, we examined blood samples from wild birds and birds undergoing rehabilitation in the San Francisco Bay Area. Samples were screened for haemosporidian parasite infections followed by RNA sequencing (RNAseq) and reverse transcriptase (RT) PCR to detect MaRNAV. Our analyses identified two novel MaRNAVs (MaRNAV-5 and -6) in various bird species harboring diverse
