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

Using viral metagenomics, we identified a novel torovirus, GToV/SWUN/SC, in diarrheal goat fecal samples with a genome length of 28,457 nt. This strain shares 96.73-96.79% nucleotide identity with Antelope torovirus (AToV) but only 88.43% with the GToV/SZ strain. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a close evolutionary relationship between GToV/SWUN/SC and AToV. Structural analysis showed three distinct structural variations in the HE protein and multiple amino acid mutations in the S gene, which may influence host adaptation. RT-PCR detected a 35.9% (240/669) positivity rate, indicating widespread circulation of GToV in Sichuan, Chongqing, and Yunnan. This study enhances the understanding of torovirus epidemiology and evolution, providing a theoretical basis for further research on viral diversity.
