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

Rodents serve as natural reservoirs and vectors for a multitude of zoonotic viruses. Analyzing the viral diversity in rodents is crucial for predicting the emergence of infectious diseases. Through high-throughput sequencing, we characterized the RNA virome of nine rodent species from the families Cricetidae and Muridae, collected from suburban Beijing (n = 432). The composition of the virome exhibited significant variation at the virus family level across the nine rodent species and three types of natural habitats. A total of 142 viral species were identified, including 133 associated with vertebrates and 9 associated with invertebrates, spanning 26 families. Notably, 75 of these viruses were novel while 67 were known viruses. Twenty-five viruses were classified as high-risk, including eight zoonotic viruses and 17 spillover-risk viruses. Additionally, nine known viruses were identified for the first time in China. Thirty-three viruses demonstrated potential for cross-species transmission. Understanding the virome characterization of field-collected rodent might provide valuable insights into the potential risk of zoonotic spillover to humans.
