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
African swine fever (ASF) is an acute, febrile, and highly contagious infectious disease of swine with the etiological agent of African swine fever virus (ASFV). The mortality rate of virulent strains is as high as 100%. Strengthening biosafety is so far the most effective way to prevent and control ASF. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a safe and effective vaccine. In this study, a Genotype II live-attenuated ASF vaccine bearing 24 genes deletion in 3 independent regions was constructed based on the highly virulent Eurasian strain ASFV CN/GS 2018 backbone. The resulting mutant ASFV-Δ24 is characterized by complete deletion of 24 genes distributed in 3 genomic positions of 852 to 11 468, 19 732 to 22 929, and 179 519 to 180 617, among which MGF100 and whole MGF300 families are pioneeringly removed. The ASFV-Δ24 displayed a delayed and reduced replication kinetics as well as aberrant icosahedral empty particles devoid of a nucleoid when compared to the parental virus. Animal experiments showed that ASFV-Δ24 was completely attenuated in animals as evidenced by stable body temperature and no ASF-compatible clinical signs in vaccinated pigs. The ASFV-Δ24 could provide complete homologous protection against lethal challenge, as vaccinated pigs demonstrated boosted antibody response, transient but low levels of viremia in blood and virus titers in organs as well as almost undetectable viral shedding. Gene deletions in multiple regions are helpful for prevention of virulence reversion. These results indicate that ASFV-Δ24 can be used as an effective and promising candidate vaccine to control the spread of ASFV.
