Molecular Detection and Genetic Typing of Hepatitis E Virus in Wild Animals from Slovakia.
Article in Food and environmental virology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Hepatitis E is an emerging zoonosis caused by the hepatitis E virus (HEV) and is recognised worldwide. Wild boars are considered one of the main reservoirs of the zoonotic HEV-3 genotype. However, HEV-3 has also been detected in many other wildlife species. In this study, we investigated 284 liver and muscle tissue samples from wild boars and 107 liver and muscle tissue samples from four different wild ruminant species (red deer, roe deer, European mouflon and fallow deer) across 35 hunting areas in Slovakia. HEV RNA was detected in 14.2% (95% CI 9.8-18.6%) of the liver and 10.5% (95% CI 0.4-20.6%) of the muscle tissue samples from wild boars but in none of the samples from the wild ruminant species. Phylogenetic analysis based on partial ORF1 and ORF2 of the HEV genome revealed that the Slovak wild boar HEV sequences clustered within the zoonotic genotype HEV-3. Depending on their geographical origin, the obtained sequences clustered into three HEV-3 subtypes: HEV-3a, HEV-3i and HEV-3e. Our findings confirm the circulation of HEV in the wild boar population in the Slovak Republic but not in wild ruminant species.
