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

Bluetongue is an insect-borne disease of ruminants caused by the Bluetongue virus (BTV). It is primarily transmitted through the bites of Culicoides midges and is widely distributed in tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions around the world. Due to its favorable geographical location and abundant population of BTV vector midges, Yunnan Province, China, has become a key region for research on BTV diversity. However, there are gaps in research on the genetic evolution of BTV in this region. Between January 2024 and December 2025, Culicoides midges were collected from three border counties in Yunnan Province. Researchers isolated BTV strains and sequenced the full-length segment 2 (Seg-2) gene. Subsequently, phylogenetic analysis, Bayesian evolutionary rate analysis, population dynamics analysis, and phylogeographic analysis were performed utilizing Seg-2 sequence data sourced from the NCBI database. Four BTV serotypes (BTV-1, BTV-4, BTV-5, and BTV-16) were identified. The estimated average evolutionary rate varied from 2.88 × 10
