Detection of Phocoena Pestivirus and Neutralizing Antibodies in Harbor Porpoises Found Dead at the North Sea and Baltic Sea Coasts.

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
In 2019, a marine pestivirus, Phocoena pestivirus (PhoPeV), family Pestiviridae, was described for the first time. To date, the impact of PhoPeV infections on harbor porpoises is still unknown. Therefore, a screening study was carried out on harbor porpoises found dead on the German North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts during 2021-2025. Analysis of organ samples collected from 84 harbor porpoises by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR showed the presence of PhoPeV RNA in samples from five animals (5.9%). Infectious virus was isolated from two of these samples. Phylogenetic analysis showed a close relationship to previously reported PhoPeV isolates. Moreover, a virus neutralization assay has been established using organ liquid and organ homogenate matrices instead of the standard serum sample matrix. Samples from seven out of 72 animals tested positive for neutralizing antibodies against PhoPeV including four samples with an antibody titer ≥ 320 ND
