Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Torque teno felis virus (FcTTV) in Domestic Cats from Kazakhstan.
Article in Viruses, 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
Anelloviruses have a broad mammalian host range, including Torque teno felis virus (FcTTV), a felid-associated member that remains undercharacterized. This is the first comprehensive study of FcTTV in domestic cats in Central Asia. We analyzed blood samples from 206 domestic cats from the large city of Astana, Kazakhstan, collected in 2023-2024. Using nested PCR we identified 63 FcTTV-positive samples (30.6% prevalence), and the sequences were compared to global reference strains. Potential demographic associations (sex and age) were assessed. The study revealed an overall FcTTV prevalence of 30.6%. Infection rates showed no significant sex-related differences: ages varied 4-168 months. ORF1 sequencing revealed multiple FcTTV variants in 27% of samples, with no demographic links. Phylogenetic analysis revealed distinct patterns at both nucleotide and amino acid levels: 3 groups of nucleotide sequences (max divergence 21.68%; intra-cluster 5.15-6.8%), and 3 clusters of amino acid sequences (max divergence 16.81%; intra-cluster 2.82-6.68%). Deletions were found in ORF1 in some variants. Global phylogeny aligned clusters with Asian/European strains (90-98% identity), confirming FcTTV1 affiliation and inter-regional transmission. Our study of FcTTV in Kazakhstan reveals moderate virus prevalence with considerable genetic diversity across viral strains and frequent co-infections with multiple variants.
