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
Background and Aim: The increasing human-wildlife interface due to urbanization and agricultural expansion has escalated the risk of zoonotic and interspecies disease transmission. Canine distemper virus (CDV), a highly contagious Materials and Methods: Wildlife sampling was conducted between July 2023 and May 2024 in Kampung Besul Lama, where CDV was previously detected in a Malayan tiger. A total of 77 small mammals from different species were captured using baited live traps. Species identification was performed based on morphological characteristics. Biological samples were collected through nasal and ocular swabs and analyzed using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction to detect CDV RNA. Positive isolates were subjected to sequencing and Nucleotide Basic Local Alignment Search Tool analysis for molecular characterization. Results: Molecular detection confirmed CDV RNA in three common tree shrews ( Conclusion: This study provides the first molecular evidence of CDV infection in tree shrews, highlighting their potential role in sustaining CDV in an enzootic state and acting as a conduit for interspecies transmission. Given the critically endangered status of Malayan tigers, targeted CDV surveillance and One Health-based disease mitigation strategies are essential to prevent further spillover events that could accelerate species decline.
