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 2023, the detection rate of porcine rotavirus (PoRV) surpassed that of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) for the first time, establishing PoRV as the predominant pathogen responsible for viral diarrhea in pigs. To systematically investigate the epidemiology and molecular characteristics of PoRV in Southwest China, a total of 196 diarrheal clinical samples were collected from 29 large-scale pig farms across the region during 2024-2025. RT-qPCR results revealed a high PoRV positivity rate of 57.14% (112/196) with group A porcine rotavirus (PoRVA) being the most prevalent at 46.43%, representing the predominant group. Genotyping and phylogenetic analysis of the VP4 and VP7 genes indicated that the P genotype P[13] was most prevalent (77.78%, 21/27), while the major G genotypes were G4 (39.28%) and G9 (35.71%). The most common G/P combinations were G9P[13] and G4P[13]. Furthermore, a PoRV strain was successfully isolated and identified through whole-genome sequencing, indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The isolate was designated RVA/Pig-wt/SCLS-JW/2024/G1P[7], with a whole-genome constellation of G1-P[7]-I5-R1-C1-M1-A8-N1-T1-E1-H1. The structural proteins VP1-4 and VP6-7, along with nonstructural genes NSP1 and NSP5, shared high sequence identity with porcine strains, whereas the nonstructural genes NSP2-NSP4 clustered more closely with human rotaviruses. These findings indicate a higher prevalence of PoRV in southwestern China compared to other regions; the dominant circulating genotypes have shifted to G9 and G4; the isolated G1P[7] strain is relatively rare in China and might be a genetic recombinant of human and porcine rotaviruses. This study provides valuable data and theoretical support for understanding the current epidemiology of PoRV, and facilitates vaccine development and the formulation of prevention and control strategies.
