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

Currently, five types of duck hepatitis viruses have been documented, and they are all associated with liver disorders. However, the prevalence of their coinfections involving these viruses remains largely uncertain. Herein, we screened the prevalence of the five types of hepatitis viruses from A to E in 143 samples of diseased duck livers during 2019-2021 in Southwest China. We found the highest infection ratio (86.01%, 123/143) of duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) among all five types of hepatitis viruses. Importantly, a large portion of DHBV-associated coinfections were identified, with 52.85% (65/123) co-infected with Duck Hepatitis A virus (DHAV), 39.84% (49/123) with tentative Duck Hepatitis D virus (DHDV), and 34.96% (43/123) with Duck Hepatitis E virus (DHEV), respectively. Interestingly, a positive correlation between the DHBV-positive rate and the infection rates of the other co-infected hepatitis viruses was revealed, suggesting the importance of DHBV in duck hepatitis virus co-infection events. To understand the situation of bacterial secondary infection, the prevalence of bacterial infection was simultaneously screened using standard 16S rRNA PCR, and hepatitis virus-associated bacterial infections were observed. Collectively, these findings revealed a high prevalence of DHBV-related coinfections and its association with the coinfection of the other duck hepatitis viruses and bacteria. In the future, it is important to study the impact of DHBV co-infection events on disease severity, thereby evaluating the necessity of vaccine development for DHBV.
