Bat-associated coronavirus found in pigs in the Iberian Peninsula: insights into potential cross-species transmission.
Article in Veterinary research communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Coronaviruses (CoVs) are a diverse group of RNA viruses that affect both human and animal health. Swine populations are particularly relevant in the ecology of CoVs, acting as potential intermediate hosts for zoonotic transmission. This study aimed to assess the occurrence of CoVs in farmed pigs in Portugal and Spain. A total of 400 fecal samples were collected from pigs in northern Portugal and northern Spain and screened using a broad-spectrum pan-CoV nested RT-PCR assay. Of these, 18 samples (4.5%) tested positive for CoV, and phylogenetic analyses confirmed their classification within the Alphacoronavirus genus. The detected sequences shared high nucleotide identity with bat-associated Alphacoronaviruses from Portugal, Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom, emphasizing the importance of continued research on the role of bats in the transmission cycle and the zoonotic potential of Alphacoronaviruses. These findings highlight the importance of ongoing surveillance in swine populations to monitor emerging CoV strains and assess potential zoonotic risks.
