Characterization of viral diversity in wild marmot blood from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Introduction: This study aimed to characterize the viral diversity in the blood of marmots in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region, to assess their role as potential viral reservoirs and evaluate the potential implications for wildlife and human health. Methodology: Seventy marmot blood samples were collected from Yushu and Guoluo Prefectures in Qinghai Province. Viral communities were comprehensively analyzed using high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics techniques. Results: Analysis identified a wide range of viral families, including Discussion: This study significantly expands the known viral diversity in marmots and underscores their role as potential zoonotic reservoirs. However, the functional and pathogenic implications of these viruses require further experimental validation. These findings highlight the importance of ongoing wildlife surveillance for understanding viral ecology and mitigating emerging public health risks.
