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

Viruses play critical roles in shaping microbial communities and regulating host metabolism. Investigating the lung virome of pigs can inform swine health management and provide a comparative resource for studies of the human lower respiratory virome. However, viral communities in the porcine lower respiratory tract remain poorly characterized. In this study, lung-associated viral communities were investigated using virus-like particle (VLP) enrichment and DNA metagenomic sequencing of 49 lung-derived samples collected from 17 domestic pigs and 20 wild boars. A total of 18,412 viral operational taxonomic units (vOTUs) were identified. Among the 2,559 vOTUs with genome completeness ≥50%, nearly 95% did not cluster with sequences in current viral reference databases at the species-level threshold (ANI ≥ 95% and AF ≥ 85%), suggesting putative viral novelty in the porcine lung while also reflecting incomplete reference database coverage. Meanwhile, 10,819 vOTUs (accounting for 58.8% of the total 18,412 identified vOTUs) were assigned to known viral taxa, spanning 29 viral orders and 65 viral families. The most prevalent viral families were
