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

In 2017, Spain reported its first equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) outbreak in 34 years, affecting three horses in two unrelated holdings in Candeleda (Ávila) and Serradilla (Cáceres), with no apparent epidemiological link between premises. Phylogenetic analysis of whole genome and the gag gene revealed that the Spanish EIAV strains form a distinct monophyletic clade, sharing more than 99% nucleotide identity, suggesting a common contamination event. Interestingly, these three viral strains seem to cluster with North American strains, sharing up to 80.12% nucleotide identity, notably with the Wyoming strain, marking the first such association for European strains. These findings raise important questions regarding the potential routes of EIAV introduction into Spain and highlight the need for enhanced surveillance and genomic characterization to better understand viral transmission dynamics.
