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

Duck enteritis virus (DEV) was identified as the etiological agent responsible for an outbreak of morbidity and mortality in adult ducks on a farm in Jiangsu, China. Diagnostic approaches confirmed that the outbreak was caused by the highly pathogenic DEV-JS2024 isolate. The clinical progression of the disease, characterized by lethargy, anorexia, ocular discharge, and high mortality, was accompanied by extensive hemorrhagic lesions in critical organs such as the liver, spleen, lungs, and bursa of Fabricius, consistent with known signs of DEV infection. Genomic analysis of DEV-JS2024 revealed a 45% G+C content and 76 open reading frames. BLASTn analysis revealed that the genome of DEV-JS2024 shares the highest sequence similarity with the Chinese virulent strain CV and the DEV attenuated vaccine strain C-KCE in the database. These results indicate a close genetic relationship between DEV-JS2024 and both the virulent and attenuated strains, suggesting potential similarities in their genomic architecture. Comparative genomic analysis identified 28 nucleotide mutations, including 15 non-synonymous mutations potentially related to virulence factors. The study also highlighted the first reported 528 base pairs deletion in the
