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

Serological surveillance enhances our understanding of influenza A virus (IAV) exposure and dynamics in wild bird populations. Traditional serum-based testing, while effective, poses logistical challenges for large-scale surveillance, particularly in remote regions, for small-bodied species or in scenarios such as hunter-harvested samples where serum collection can be impractical. This study evaluates the use of whole blood collected on high-quality cellulose filter strips as an alternative to serum for detecting antibodies against IAV nucleoprotein (NP) and hemagglutinin (HA) H5 and H7 targets. We tested paired serum and whole blood on filter strips collected from wild birds using the commercially available IDEXX AI MultiS Screen Ab test and in-house competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) developed at the National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease (NCFAD) of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
