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

Fowl adenovirus serotype 1 (FAdV-A1) is a significant pathogen primarily associated with gizzard erosion and ulceration (GEU) in poultry. This study conducted a comprehensive epidemiological investigation of FAdV-A1 in 16,481 clinical samples collected from commercial poultry farms across 30 provinces in China between January 2022 and March 2026. The results revealed an overall FAdV-A1 detection rate of 0.36% (60/16,481), with 75% (45/60) of positive cases identified in laying hen flocks, predominantly during the onset to peak production phase (18-35 weeks of age). FAdV-A1 infection caused necrotizing salpingitis in affected hens, characterized by increased oviduct secretions, uterine edema, and necrosis and desquamation of glandular epithelial cells. Phylogenetic analysis based on the hexon gene demonstrated that all 19 sequenced FAdV-A1 isolates share 95.62-99.78% sequence identity with the apathogenic CELO strain. Serological analyses of AGP and VN revealed that antisera against currently circulating FAdV-C4 vaccine showed limited cross-neutralization against FAdV-A1 in vitro. FAdV-A1 challenge in laying hens induced characteristic necrotizing salpingitis lesions. This investigation demonstrates that FAdV-A1 is not restricted to causing GEU lesions but also elicits a previously unrecognized clinical manifestation of necrotizing salpingitis in Chinese laying hen flocks, thereby providing a scientific basis for accurate diagnosis, serological differentiation, and comprehensive prevention and control measures.
