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

Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is a highly contagious intestinal disease owing to porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection. It is extremely detrimental to newborn piglets and has caused huge economic losses to the global pig industry. In this study, three PEDV strains of G2a PEDV-WF/2023, G2b PEDV-SX/2024 and PEDV-HS/2024 were successfully isolated from small intestine tissue samples with the analysis of their molecular structure characteristics, genetic characteristics and pathogenicity. Notably, these three PEDV strains had multiple unique aa mutations and extensive N-glycosylation in the D0 region, S1-NTD, COE epitope and SS6, respectively. Therefore, their structures were different compared to CV777 and PT-P5 strains. Furthermore, all the three PEDV strains caused severe clinical symptoms in 1-day-old piglets after infection. Among them, G2a PEDV-WF/2023 was the most detrimental to piglets, with highly levels of viral RNA in vivo. In contrast, PEDV-HS/2024 showed relatively weak pathogenicity to piglets, but it also caused the death of piglets. It might be attributed to the occurrence of individual mutations consistent with the amino acid sequence of G1b subtype in PEDV-HS/2024 strain. Findings in this study allow us to confirm that the G2a PEDV-WF/2023 strain is currently one of the most harmful epidemic strains to piglets. This study may benefit our understanding of the molecular structure characteristics, evolution trend and transmission dynamics of the epidemic strains in China. Moreover, it may provide potential reference for formulating more targeted PEDV vaccines, preventing and controlling this infection, and further curbing the cross-species spread of PEDV.
