Pathogenesis of Aleutian Mink Disease Virus Infection-Comparison of Natural Transmission with Experimental Aerosol and Intraperitoneal Inoculation.
Article in Pathogens (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Though intraperitoneal (IP) inoculation is not the natural pathway of Aleutian Mink Disease Virus (AMDV) infection in mink, it is frequently used experimentally. To investigate AMDV pathogenesis, we compared the effects of IP, aerosol (AE), and natural infection in mink. Forty-six sapphire mink were divided into groups: negative controls, IP and AE AMDV-inoculated mink, and sentinels exposed to IP-inoculated mink for two-week periods. Mink in the control, IP, and AE groups were euthanized 2, 5, or 10 weeks post-inoculation. The mink were tested for AMDV antibodies and by PCR on serum samples throughout the study, and by PCR and histology in organs after euthanasia. The sentinel mink were introduced to determine when the risk of natural transmission was highest. AMDV was detected in the sentinels exposed during weeks 3-6, indicating that AMDV transmission risk is highest early in infection, before antibody-positive animals can be detected on the farm. Infection in the AE group progressed more gradually than in the IP group, which developed more pronounced lesions and higher viral loads in the liver. Compared to IP inoculation, the aerosol model provides a superior experimental approach for studying natural infection and transmission of AMDV.
