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

Although feline astrovirus (FAstV) is recognized as a cause of feline gastroenteritis, the prevalence of asymptomatic infections in Japan remains unclear. We examined fecal samples from 124 domestic and 195 stray cats (n = 319) for FAstV and two common feline enteric viruses, feline enteric coronavirus (FECoV) and feline bocaparvovirus (FBoV). FAstV was detected only in stray cats (6/195, 3.08%). Among FAstV-positive samples, PCR-based co-detection with FECoV and/or FBoV was observed in 5/6 (83.3%). Phylogenetic analysis of two complete ORF2 sequences (TYT-100 and TYT-101) and two partial ORF2 sequences (~ 500 bp; TYT-13 and TYT-14) showed that Japanese FAstV strains clustered together and were genetically distinct from previously reported strains, based on available sequences. These findings suggest a low prevalence of FAstV with frequent co-detection of other enteric viruses in asymptomatic cats in Japan.
