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

Fish poxviruses are increasingly recognised as emerging pathogens of fish and should be considered in cases of unexplained gill or skin pathology. Carp edema virus (CEV), the causative agent of koi sleepy disease in common carp and koi (Cyprinus carpio), represents the first known example. Since then, additional members of the poxviridae have been described, including Plecoglossus altivelis poxvirus (PaPV) in ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis), seahorse poxvirus (SHPV) in Cape seahorse (Hippocampus capensis), salmon gill poxvirus (SGPV) in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), cod gill poxvirus (CGPV) in cod (Gadus morhua), black bullhead poxvirus in black bullhead (Ameiurus melas) and Japanese seabream poxvirus (JSPV) in red seabream (Pagrus major). Most poxviruses share a tropism for epithelial tissues, causing gill hyperplasia, lamellar fusion and in the case of SHPV, dermatopathy. Clinical presentation is often complicated by secondary infections due to the immunomodulatory effects of poxviruses. Diagnostic progress is hampered by their failure to replicate in cell culture, inconsistent electron microscopy results and the lack of broad molecular screening tools. Fish health professionals should remain vigilant and include poxviruses in differential diagnoses for gill and skin disorders.
