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

Fesaviruses, members of the group of picorna-like viruses, were discovered in 2014 in stool samples from cats in an animal shelter in the United States. In this study, we investigated the serological evidence of fesavirus 4 infection in domestic cats in Japan using a purified recombinant antigen corresponding to a portion of the large open reading frame of fesavirus 4. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed and used to test 100 cat plasma samples to detect specific antibodies against the fesavirus 4 antigen and Western blotting confirmed presence of specific antibodies against the fesavirus 4 antigen in 12 samples. These findings highlight the importance of investigating newly discovered viruses circulating in companion animals in Japanese animal shelters.
