Arbovirus Seropositivity in UK Zoo-Housed Birds, with Evidence for Autochthonous Exposure to Batai Virus.
Article in Microorganisms, 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
Mosquito-borne virus transmission continues to increase in Europe, with the emergence of Usutu virus (USUV) in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2020 and the geographical expansion of West Nile virus (WNV) to more northerly latitudes. Other mosquito-borne viruses also circulate throughout mainland Europe, including Batai virus (BATV), leading to seropositivity in a range of vertebrate species, including humans, livestock and birds. A panel of archived sera from birds housed within a zoological collection in Central London was investigated for antibodies raised against the mosquito-borne viruses USUV, WNV and BATV. Orthoflavivirus seropositivity was detected in several birds, along with antibodies raised against BATV, an orthobunyavirus previously not reported in the UK. Furthermore, seropositivity in birds bred in captivity provides evidence of cryptic transmission of mosquito-borne viruses. This study highlights the utility of zoological collection birds as sentinels for VBD detection.
