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

Understanding disease dynamics in wild fish populations is essential for effective conservation and fisheries management, yet diagnosing marine diseases in wild organisms is challenging. Tenacibaculosis, a bacterial disease caused by Tenacibaculum spp., is emblematic of this challenge, having been widely reported in farmed Atlantic (Salmo salar) and Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) salmon, but never confirmed in any species of wild Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.). Here, we present the first report of tenacibaculosis in wild-caught Pacific salmon. During holding experiments conducted with Chinook salmon captured in Barkley Sound, Canada in 2022, we observed external lesions in 16 of 99 fish and associated high mortality. Through molecular screening, analysis of genetic sequences, and microscopic localisation of the infectious agents present, we identified Tenacibaculum dicentrarchi as the likely causative agent of tenacibaculosis in the fish with the most severe lesions.
