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

Background: Newcastle disease is an extremely contagious and economically damaging poultry disease caused by Avian orthoavulavirus 1 [Newcastle disease virus (NDV)], a member of Paramyxoviridae. Aim: This study was conducted as a systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at assessing NDV prevalence among poultry populations in mainland China. Methods: A total of 25 relevant epidemiological studies published between 1979 and 2023 were analyzed following the MOOSE guidelines. Results: Our meta-analysis revealed an overall NDV prevalence of 2.17% (95% CI: 1.95%-2.42%) with significant heterogeneity ( Conclusion: These results highlight persistent NDV challenges in high-density poultry areas (e.g., southern China) and underscore the importance of molecular diagnostics (RT-PCR) for accurate surveillance. Given persistent hotspots in high-density poultry areas (e.g., Guangdong), targeted vaccination and region-specific biosecurity measures are critical to mitigating NDV transmission.
