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

ObjectivesThe aim of the present study was to evaluate feline chaphamaparvovirus (FeChPV, previously referred to as feline fechavirus) in different cat populations.MethodsFeces or vomit were collected from a convenience sample of cats in facilities undergoing clusters of undifferentiated vomiting and diarrhea, along with a single animal shelter that was not experiencing a detectable change in disease. Samples were tested for FeChPV using PCR.ResultsFecal (n = 127) and vomitus (n = 9) samples were obtained from 136 cats: 65 from cats at an animal shelter without any apparent increase in gastrointestinal disease (shelter A); 25 from three animal shelters (shelters B-D) with clusters of undifferentiated acute onset of vomiting and diarrhea; and 46 from a research colony that had a recent outbreak of gastrointestinal disease. FeChPV was identified in 30/136 (22%) samples: 8/65 (12%) of cats from shelter A; 1/9 (11%) from shelter B; 2/8 (25%) from shelter C; 7/8 (88%) from shelter D; and 12/46 (26%) cats from the research colony. Among the samples from shelter A, the shelter with no identified abnormal gastrointestinal disease, FeChPV DNA was identified in the feces of 5/52 (9.6%) non-diarrheic (fecal score <4) and 3/13 (23%) diarrheic cats (
