Genetic Diversity, Reassortment Patterns, and Antigenic Characterization of Two H9N2 Avian Influenza Viruses Isolated from Quails in China.
Article in Viruses, 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
H9N2 avian influenza viruses pose a persistent zoonotic risk owing to their broad host adaptability. Between 2024 and 2025, two H9N2 isolates (ZHY1022B2 and ZHY0417A11) were recovered from quail flocks in Hebei, China. Phylogenetic analysis clustered their HA genes within the dominant B4.7.2 subclade, but diverged into two subgroups (B4.7.2.2 and B4.7.2.1). Of particular interest was ZHY0417A11, which displayed a multigenic reassortment pattern-its PB1 originated from an H3N8 virus, PA and PB2 from H3N3, NS from H10N3, and the M gene was nearly identical (99.32%) to a human H3N8 isolate, whereas the remaining HA, NA and NP segments maintained the H9N2 backbone. Despite the presence of the HA mammalian-adaptive markers (H191N, A198V and Q234L), both strains showed marked antigenic drift from the vaccine strain SS (BJ/94-like; R < 0.5), while retaining reactivity with currently circulating field strains. These findings argue for heightened vigilance in quail populations, given their role as mixing vessels, and highlight the limitations of current vaccine matching in light of ongoing H9N2 evolution.
