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

Felipivirus is a feline picornavirus that was first discovered in fecal samples from stray cats in Hong Kong in 2012, and has been reported only in a few cases. We previously reported next-generation sequencing (NGS) analyses of fecal samples from 20 adult cats in an animal shelter in Tokyo, Japan, and now, in this study, report detection of felipivirus A2 from the same samples. Reverse transcription (RT)-PCR demonstrated the presence of the same virus in the 8 cats. Phylogenetic analyzes demonstrated a close relationship of the virus with some picornaviruses from wild animals such as raccoon dog and marmot. This study highlights the importance of surveillance of cats in animal shelters to detect viruses potentially originated from wild animals.
