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

The emergence of genetically diverse PRRSV-2 lineages, including the NADC34-like virus, presents significant challenges to the swine industry due to their variable pathogenicity and impact on immune modulation. However, the precise mechanisms underlying virus-induced immune modulation remain poorly understood. This study investigated the immunopathological characteristics of the Korean NADC34-like PRRSV strain JBNU-22-N01 in comparison with the NADC30-like strain PJ73 and the prototype strain VR2332 in a weaned piglet model. All PRRSV-2 strains exhibited moderate pathogenicity without mortality, following a similar infection course characterized by interstitial pneumonia, cytokine cascades (e.g., IFN-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-12p40, IL-10, CCL2, CCL5, CCL8, and CXCL10), and upregulation of interferon-stimulated genes [e.g., ISG12(A)]. Flow cytometry analysis revealed significant alterations in the composition of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cell populations, including a decreased frequency of alveolar macrophages and an increased proportion of infiltrating immune cells (monocyte-derived cells, T cells, and NK cells). However, the majority of infiltrated CD4
