Discovery of a novel double-stranded DNA virus associated with ant labial gland disease reveals its long-term interaction with ants.
Article in Journal of virology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Large double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses have been shown to have a wide host range in insects. However, their infection in ants has not yet been described. In this study, we report the identification of a novel filamentous virus, Camponotus japonicus labial gland disease virus (CjLGDV), from the enlarged labial glands of IMPORTANCE: Ants, as highly eusocial insects, play vital roles in ecosystems worldwide. While numerous RNA viruses have been documented in ants, no double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) virus has previously been confirmed to infect them. Labial gland disease, reported for decades, lacks a clearly defined cause until now. Here, we identify and characterize a large filamentous dsDNA virus, Camponotus japonicus labial gland disease virus (CjLGDV), from the swollen labial gland of
