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

Recent large-scale outbreaks of diarrhea in pigs in China have been attributed to viral pathogens. To investigate the primary viral causes of diarrhea, we collected 1343 fecal samples from 84 pig farms across 20 provinces. PEDV showed the highest positivity rate at 50.90%, with a positive farm rate of 66.67%. PoRVA had a positive rate of 33.80% and a positive farm rate of 40.48%. TGEV and PDCoV exhibited lower positivity rates of 3.10% and 6.00%, respectively, with positive farm rates of 14.29% and 16.67%. Co-infections, primarily involving PEDV and PoRVA, accounted for 19.05% of cases. Additionally, an analysis of the spatiotemporal distribution of viruses from 2022 to 2024 was conducted. This study also included phylogenetic and amino acid analyses focusing on PEDV and PoRVA. Among them, PEDV predominantly belongs to GIIa and GIIc, while PoRVA predominantly belongs to G4, G5 and G9. We analyzed neutralizing epitopes and functional sites of the PEDV S protein, revealing that the SS2 and SS6 epitopes are relatively conserved, while various mutations were observed in other functional sites. Additionally, significant variability in the VP7 protein of PoRVA was noted among different genotypes, with several conserved amino acid sequences identified, primarily located in the loop regions of the VP7 protein. The study helps identify high-risk areas and peak periods, thereby providing guidance for epidemic early warning and resource allocation. Additionally, the study conducted a further analysis of the antigenic epitopes of PEDV and PoRVA, providing important information for vaccine design and the formulation of immunization strategies.
