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 this study, one H9N2 subtype avian influenza virus (AIV) was isolated in Jiangsu Province, China, in March 2025. According to phylogenetic analysis, the HA gene fragment of the H9N2 isolate was classified as the B4.7 lineage, with the remaining seven segments falling into the Eurasian lineage. This H9N2 virus underwent complex genetic reassortment across multiple regions in China during its evolution, and key amino acid substitutions were identified, which may enhance its viral polymerase activity and replication efficiency in mice. Critically, a mouse experiment demonstrated that the H9N2 virus replicated effectively in the lungs and nasal turbinates of BALB/c mice without requiring prior adaptation. In addition, poultry infection studies showed that the H9N2 virus could replicate and spread more efficiently in chickens than in ducks. Moreover, the virus could be transmitted to contacted ducks through infected chickens with greater efficiency than from ducks to ducks. Furthermore, in the lungs of inoculated chickens and ducks, the mRNA expression levels of pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) and cytokines were upregulated, while the overall fold increase in ducks was lower than that in chickens. In conclusion, these results highlighted the potential public health risk presented by chicken-derived H9N2 AIV, emphasizing the critical need for enhanced routine surveillance of H9N2 AIVs from poultry.
