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

This study describes the first outbreaks with virulent avian paramyxovirus 1 (APMV-1) since 2005 in Denmark. Both outbreaks were caused by pigeon specific variants, denoted pigeon paramyxovirus 1 (PPMV-1). The first outbreak was in June 2022 and affected captive pigeons near Næstved, in southeast Denmark, where 1053 captive birds were housed, and hereof 851 pigeons. A second and separate outbreak occurred in June 2023 in Aalborg, northwest Denmark, involving 1851 captive birds, of which 40 were pigeons. In both outbreaks, pigeons were predominantly affected, characterised by high mortality, and presented with neurological signs, along with thin-shelled eggs. Pathological and virological assessment revealed multi-systemic infections in pigeons, including neuronal and vascular endothelial tropism. Chickens were affected only in the 2022 outbreak, with reported extended hatching periods and chicks dead at hatching, and with no apparent lesions detected at both macro- and microscopic investigations. Fusion protein (F) gene sequence classified the 2022 virus isolate as genotype VI.2.1.1.2.2 and the 2023 virus as genotype XXI.1.1, with polybasic cleavage sites
