Nucleic acid detection and molecular traceability of equine herpesvirus 1 in imported horses.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Equid alphaherpesvirus 1 is a major pathogen threatening the global equine industry, causing respiratory disease, abortion, and neurological disease. Methods: In April 2024, during routine pathogen screening of a batch of imported quarantine horses from the Netherlands, four out of 20 nasal swab samples tested positive for EHV-1 nucleic acid. Results: The affected horses exhibited only mild respiratory signs. ORF30 SNP typing at nucleotide position 2254 and Sanger sequencing confirmed that all positive samples belonged to the N752 non-neuropathogenic genotype. As virus isolation was unsuccessful, the ORF30, ORF33, and ORF34 gene fragments were amplified and sequenced directly from the positive samples. The complete identity of these gene sequences across all four samples indicated that they were caused by the same strain. Bayesian phylogenetic analysis based on concatenated multi-sequence alignment revealed that all reference strains first divided into two distinct clades according to host range: Clade A encompassed Discussion: While the horses were imported from the Netherlands, the evolutionary background of the virus pointed to the Ireland/British Isles region, suggesting that the strain may have entered the Netherlands via the European equine trade network before being introduced. This study reveals the molecular characteristics and phylogenetic position of EHV-1 carried by imported horses and uncovers a geographic discordance between the evolutionary background of the virus and its direct country of origin, providing molecular evidence for understanding the international transmission dynamics of EHV-1 and pathogen surveillance in cross-border equine movements.
