Molecular epidemiology, spatiotemporal patterns, and economic impact of African swine fever in Meghalaya, India.
Article in Frontiers in cellular and infection 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
Background: African swine fever (ASF), caused by Materials: In this study, we undertook an exploratory spatio-temporal analysis and economic cost analysis based on a total of 115 outbreak events involving 1603 animals were recorded involving 7 of the erstwhile 11 districts between July 2020 and April 2025. Additionally, we also regularly screened field samples from various districts of Meghalaya and tried to understand the molecular epidemiology based on Results and discussion: Phylogenetic analysis of representative strains from the outbreaks based on p72 and p54 regions assigned the strains to Genotype II, and more specifically sub-genotype IIa, respectively. Economic losses directly arising from assumed pork sales of affected animals yielded a conservative estimate of INR 2,74,45,883 (USD 305,225). Further, exploratory spatial autocorrelation analysis indicated clustering of outbreaks in 2020 and 2021. Moreover, exploratory temporal autocorrelation analysis hinted at weak but insignificant seasonal (p > 0.05) and annual trends at lag 12 frequency, which was also the feature observed in temporal decomposition of ASF outbreaks. Conclusions: The current study offers baseline data on which forecasting models can be developed and effectively prevent and contain future outbreaks by collaborative efforts of the stakeholders.
