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

Protoparvovirus carnivoran1 is a highly contagious pathogen that poses a significant threat to both domestic and wild carnivorans. Despite its importance, the dynamics of viral transmission at the wildlife-domestic interface remain poorly understood. Between 2017 and 2025, 303 fecal samples from eight free-ranging mesocarnivoran species and 243 samples from hunting dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) were collected in the Valencian Community. For the dog cohort, surveys were conducted to evaluate potential risk factors for infection. All samples were screened via real-time PCR, and positive cases were characterized by sequencing key VP2 regions. P. carnivoran1 DNA was detected in 11.11% (27/243) of dogs and 2.6% (8/303) of mesocarnivorans. Among wildlife, the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) was the most affected (n = 3), followed by beech martens (Martes foina), Eurasian badgers (Meles meles), and a common genet (Genetta genetta). Multivariable analysis identified a strong statistical association between raw meat intake and CPV-2 positivity (p  < 0.001). Furthermore, spatial analysis through relative risk (RR) maps identified distinct geographical clusters of infection, suggesting localized areas of higher environmental viral load. Sequencing revealed that all dog-derived strains clustered within the CPV-2c antigenic variant, whereas mesocarnivorans harbored predominantly feline panleukopenia virus (FPV)-like strains (n = 6), with only two individuals infected with CPV-2b. Phylogenetic analysis showed a predominance of the "Asian" lineage (324I, 370R) among hunting dogs, while wild carnivorans exhibited a more varied distribution, including European-like and Asian-related signatures (324I). These findings highlight differences in the viral strains detected across these populations, which may reflect distinct epidemiological dynamics in the region. Further surveillance is needed to better define the extent of viral circulation and the ecological drivers at the wildlife-domestic interface.
