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

In November 2024, the animal health authority of Japan reported the nation's first case of lumpy skin disease (LSD) at a dairy farm in Fukuoka, Kyushu. Although a total of 22 farms were affected-17 dairy, 3 beef, and 2 mixed-the epidemic was effectively contained within two months through strict control measures. PCR testing confirmed the presence of LSD virus in skin nodules from suspected cattle at the index farms, and infectious virus was isolated. Phylogenetic analysis based on the complete genome sequence indicated that the virus detected in Japan was closely related to strains that have recently circulated in East and Southeast Asia.
