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

Influenza A viruses (IAVs) remain a persistent global threat because of rapid antigenic change, frequent genetic reassortment, and cross-species transmission. Swine act as key "mixing vessels," permitting co-infection with avian and human strains and accelerating viral diversification and zoonotic risk. Effective veterinary surveillance is therefore critical for detecting viral evolution within swine populations and for providing early warning at the animal-human interface. Taiwan, home to approximately 5.5 million pigs and 23.4 million people, offers a representative case for examining how swine influenza surveillance has evolved in response to these challenges. This review describes the development of veterinary surveillance strategies from fragmented, event-driven monitoring to a coordinated One Health governance framework incorporating routine whole-genome sequencing, targeted serological surveillance, and coordinated data exchange across sectors. Key historical milestones include mass vaccination and culling programs, the 2009 pandemic response and recent zoonotic detections of H1N2v in humans (2021-2023), collectively evidencing ongoing bidirectional viral exchange. Episodes of severe human seasonal influenza activity, including H3N2-associated outbreaks, further highlighted the importance of coordinated surveillance across human and animal health sectors. By focusing on surveillance practices applied to animals, this review highlights the practical value of integrating molecular epidemiology, veterinary field monitoring, artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled technologies and cross-sector communication under a One Health framework. The Taiwanese experience demonstrates how strengthened veterinary surveillance can improve the sensitivity for detecting reassortment events, enhance traceability of viral spread, and support timely risk assessment in intensive livestock systems. These lessons offer a practical, replicable pathway for other countries aiming to overcome swine influenza surveillance fragmentation and strengthen pandemic preparedness under a One Health framework.
