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
Senecavirus A (SVA) has rapidly emerged as a globally distributed swine pathogen, with clinical signs mimicking vesicular diseases such as Foot-and-Mouth Disease, posing challenges for timely detection and control. Here, we analyzed 329 complete SVA genomes spanning multiple continents to provide a comprehensive view of its evolutionary dynamics, recombination patterns, haplotype diversity, and global dissemination. Phylogenetic analyses revealed two major lineages: Lineage 1, consisting mainly of early strains from the United States before 2007, and Lineage 2, which emerged post-2007 and subsequently spread across the Americas and East Asia. Recombination was confined to Lineage 2 and concentrated in nonstructural regions, particularly 2C, highlighting intra-lineage genetic exchange as a driver of recent diversification. Haplotype analysis of the 3AB gene identified 170 distinct haplotypes, revealing a star-like network structure consistent with rapid population expansion from a central ancestral variant, while secondary branches reflect ongoing regional diversification. Despite this high genetic variation, genome-wide dN/dS ratios remained below one, and purifying selection was strongest in the N-terminal domains of structural and nonstructural proteins, indicating functional constraints that maintain viral fitness. Time-scaled phylogenetic reconstruction and Bayesian Skyline analysis revealed rapid lineage diversification and a marked increase in effective population size in the early 2010s. Phylogeographic inference further identified repeated introductions from the Americas into East Asia, likely facilitated by swine trade and other anthropogenic factors. Collectively, SVA evolution is driven by frequent mutation and intra-lineage recombination yet constrained by pervasive purifying selection, generating extensive genetic diversity while maintaining functional integrity, with implications for genomic surveillance and targeted control.
