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
Parapoxvirus infections caused by bovine papular stomatitis virus (BPSV) and pseudocowpox virus (PCPV) are globally distributed zoonoses in ruminants. Although parapoxviruses have been isolated and genetically characterized in several regions of Japan, no sequence data are available from Hokkaido, which has the country's largest cattle population. Consequently, the genetic characteristics of strains circulating in Hokkaido remain unclear. This study analyzed the genetic relationships and molecular epidemiology of 11 BPSV and two PCPV strains isolated in Hokkaido between 2005 and 2022. Full-length sequences of open reading frames (ORF) 11 and 32 were determined and compared with previously reported strains. The deduced amino acid identities of ORF11 ranged from 95 to 100% among 11 BPSV strains and 98% between the two PCPV strains. ORF32 amino acid identities among BPSV strains ranged from 88% to 100%. This study reports the first ORF32 sequences of Japanese parapoxviruses. Phylogenetic analysis based on ORF11 showed that 10 BPSV strains formed a single cluster, whereas one strain was distinct; the two PCPV strains also formed separate clusters. ORF32 analysis indicated that most BPSV strains clustered together, except for one strain with an amino acid deletion. Comparisons with domestic and foreign strains demonstrated that ORF11 is highly conserved, whereas ORF32 exhibits greater genetic diversity, supporting its suitability for molecular epidemiological analysis. These findings indicate that genetically related parapoxviruses are circulating in Hokkaido.
