Molecular detection of canine parainfluenza virus-5 in dogs in Baghdad province, Iraq.
Review in Open veterinary journal, 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
Background: This study aimed to detect canine parainfluenza virus-5 (CPIV-5) in dogs in Baghdad city, using reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and conventional nested (RT-nPCR) techniques, along with phylogenetic analysis. Methods: Nasal swabs were obtained from 150 dogs, (100 sick dogs showing respiratory distress and 50 apparently healthy dogs), from January 2023 to April 2024. Results: CPIV-5 was detected by RT-qPCR in 51 out of 100 sick dogs (51%) and 17 out of 50 apparently healthy dogs (34%). All positive RT-qPCR samples were rechecked by RT-nPCR. Ten final RT-nPCR products were sequenced, and the data were deposited in NCBI Gene Bank. These samples were categorized as CPIV-5 based on nucleocapsid protein gene analysis. The phylogenetic analysis based on amino acids revealed that local strains were distinct, with the first cluster sharing identity and similarity scores with international isolates, while the second cluster differed significantly from international isolates and could be Iraqi strains. Conclusion: This study concluded for the first time on the presence of CPIV-5 in both sick and apparently healthy dogs. The latter could act as reservoirs of the virus, contributing to the transmission of the disease to susceptible dogs, ultimately leading to increased morbidity.
