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

Bluetongue virus (BTV) causes a vector-borne disease of considerable veterinary and economic importance. The virus is spread by biting midges (family Ceratopogonidae). BTV exposure has been reported in a wide range of ecological settings, but evidence from very high-altitude areas remains limited. To our knowledge, this is the first report of serological evidence of BTV exposure of domestic ruminants at extremely high altitudes (>4500 m) in Ali Prefecture, western Tibetan Plateau, China. Testing with a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay revealed that 31.1% of 633 blood samples collected from sheep, goats, yaks, cattle, and yak-cattle hybrids in Ali Prefecture in 2023 were positive for BTV-specific antibodies, with seroprevalence varying from 90.7% in goats to only 0.4% in yaks, confirming significant geographical and interspecies differences (
