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
Background: Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a leading cause of viral encephalitis, among children, in many Asian countries despite the availability of effective vaccines. There are five JE virus genotypes (GI through GV), with GIII being the most prevalent. However, in the past three decades GI has emerged as the dominant genotype across several Asian countries, while the reappearance of GV is a concern due to the reduced cross-neutralization offered by existing GIII-based vaccines. Although both GI and GIII have been reported to co-circulate in India, all previous JEV isolations from pigs have been of the GIII. Objective: The objective of the study was to elucidate the JEV genotype diversity among pigs in Assam through molecular and virological investigation. Methods: We collected blood, serum and nasal swab samples from apparently healthy pigs as a part of routine disease surveillance in pigs of Kamrup (Rural) district, Assam, India. The samples were processed using standard molecular biology (qRT-PCR, Gene Sequencing, Phylogenetic analysis) and virological techniques (Virus isolation, immunofluorescence, plaque assay) for JE virus detection, isolation and characterization. Results: In this study, we report the first isolation and characterization of a JEV GI from a nasal swab of a naturally infected pig from Assam, India and the isolate was designated as JEV/Pig/Assam/NIVEDI-1/2025 (GI). The identity of the JEV isolate was confirmed by RT-qPCR, phylogeny based on Conclusions: The findings underscore that JEV GI is circulating in Assam and there is need for strengthened JEV surveillance in swine to monitor genotype shifts, understand viral evolution, and generate field isolates critical for vaccine evaluation and preparedness against emerging JEV genotypes. The study also demonstrates the feasibility of using nasal swabs for virus detection and isolation thereby providing evidence for the presence of JEV in nasal secretion of naturally infected pigs.
