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
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a globally significant pestivirus currently classified into three species: BVDV-1 (Pestivirus A), BVDV-2 (Pestivirus B), and BVDV-3 (HoBi-like, Pestivirus H). Here, we report the isolation and identification of a potential new BVDV genotype associated with severe outbreaks in yaks in China. Since 2024, an epidemic characterized by respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms has been spreading across Sichuan and Qinghai Provinces. From January 2024 to October 2025, we collected 260 samples from 167 affected yaks from 14 farms. Among these, 55.69% of the yaks and all sampled farms tested positive for BVDV. Sequencing of the 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) and Npro fragments from clinical samples revealed that the dominant epidemic strains may represent a novel BVDV lineage. We isolated four cytopathic strains and successfully sequenced two genomes of strains SC-H03 and QH-B04, which share less than 77.8% nucleotide identity across the complete coding sequence (CDS) with well-defined BVDV-1/2/3 strains. Phylogenetic analyses of the complete CDS and individual genes placed SC-H03 and QH-B04 in a distinct monophyletic clade with strong bootstrap support. Pairwise genetic distances confirmed substantial divergence, and cross-neutralization assays revealed significant antigenic differences from BVDV-1 and BVDV-2 reference strains. In accordance with ICTV Pestivirus classification standards, these strains satisfy the criteria for a new Pestivirus species, which we propose to name BVDV-4 (Pestivirus T). Given its wide prevalence in yaks and association with high morbidity and mortality, our findings underscore the urgent need for targeted prevention and control measures.
