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

Introduction: Aujeszky's disease is caused by suid herpesvirus-1, also called Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV). The main reservoir host is the wild boar ( Material and Methods: Between February and June 2024, blood samples were collected from 320 wild boar (143 females and 177 males). Total antibodies to ADV were detected by a commercial indirect ELISA kit. The results were statistically analysed. Results: Antibodies against ADV were detected in serum samples from 103/320 animals (32.19%). The wild boars were more likely to be ADV seropositive with age, but the uncertainty of this prediction increased with age. Sex and location of animals did not influence ADV seroprevalence. Conclusion: The study revealed that the wild boar is still an important ADV reservoir in Poland. Even though Poland has ADV-free status, the results indicate that the situation in wild boar should be monitored. There is the risk of spillover of ADV from wild boar to domestic pig herds, potentially interfering with the control programme in Poland. The ADV seroprevalence in wild boar population shows not only a risk of the virus' reintroduction into pig herds but also a potential threat to other domestic and wild mammals.
