First detection of two cycloviruses in cormorant fecal samples in China by high-throughput sequencing technology.
Article in Frontiers in veterinary science, 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
Introduction: The Great Cormorant ( Methods: In this study,46 cormorant fecal swab samples were collected at Xiamen Garden Expo Park, and viralmetagenomics method was conducted to identify two Cycloviruses. Results: This study identified two novel cycloviruses, Corcyclo-1 (1,856 bp) and Corcyclo-2 (1,831 bp), from cormorant fecal samples using viral metagenomics. Genomic analyses revealed hallmark features of the genus Cyclovirus, including inversely oriented open reading frames (ORFs) encoding the capsid protein (Cap) and replication-associated protein (Rep), as well as a conserved stem-loop sequence TAATACTAT. The Rep gene of Corcyclo-1 contained a 166-bp intron and shared >96.9% amino acid identity with human-, wild boar-, and chicken-derived cyclovirus strains (HaCV-8) from Vietnam and Madagascar, classifying it as a novel strain of HaCV-8. In contrast, Corcyclo-2 harbored a 98-bp intron in its Rep gene and clustered with unclassified cyclovirus strains from bats and mongooses in China and Saint Kitts and Nevis (>97.4% identity), constituting a putative new species. Phylogenetic and pairwise sequence analyses further supported their taxonomic positions. Epidemiological screening demonstrated a high prevalence of Corcyclo-1 (82.6%, 38/46) and Corcyclo-2 (32.6%, 15/46) in cormorant feces. Cross-species surveillance detected Corcyclo-2 in chickens (25.8%, 16/62) and ducks (11.7%, 9/77), whereas Corcyclo-1 was absent in these hosts. Conclusion: This study represents the first report of cormorant-associated cycloviruses, highlighting their potential for cross-species transmission and providing new insights into the ecological diversity and evolutionary mechanisms of cyclovirus.
