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

Cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) drives recurrent unusual-mortality events, yet surveillance is uneven where laboratory capacity is limited. We developed a portable reverse transcription-insulated isothermal PCR (RT-iiPCR) assay targeting a conserved phosphoprotein (P)-gene segment and evaluated analytical performance, tissue-level clinical sensitivity, and concordance with reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) under low-copy conditions that resemble challenging strandings. Using synthetic RNA, RT-iiPCR achieved 100% detection from 62,560 to 513 copies µL
