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

Introduction: Coinfection with porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a major cause of acute diarrhea in piglets, which poses a significant challenge to the swine industry. The early detection and control of these two viruses require highly sensitive diagnostic tools. We developed a novel chip digital PCR (cdPCR) assay that uses two probes for the simultaneous quantitative detection of both PDCoV and PEDV in clinical samples. Methods: In this study, the dual cdPCR reaction system, including the annealing temperature and primer-probe concentration ratio, was systematically optimized. Additionally, we validated the developed method for specificity, sensitivity, linearity, and repeatability. Finally, the method was applied to assess the biological samples with low viral loads. Results: The dual cdPCR assay demonstrated exceptional sensitivity, with limits of detection (LoD) of 1.83 ± 0.15 copies/μL for PDCoV and 0.99 ± 0.07 copies/μL for PEDV, high specificity (no cross-reactivity with TGEV, PSV, or PRV), outstanding linearity ( Discussion: Our results demonstrate that this dual cdPCR assay offers a highly sensitive, stable, and accurate platform for the simultaneous quantification of both PDCoV and PEDV. It represents a valuable tool for early disease monitoring (particularly in aerosol surveillance and mixed-infection scenarios with low viral loads), thereby supporting the effective prevention of porcine viral diarrhea and the sustainable growth of the swine industry.
