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

Horseshoe crabs (Xiphosura: Limulidae) are the sole surviving species of the class Merostomata, with only four extant species remaining today. Recent advances in metagenomic next-generation sequencing have unveiled a vast diversity of RNA viruses and non-retroviral endogenous RNA viral elements (nrEVEs) in invertebrates. This raises intriguing questions about the RNA virome and nrEVEs in horseshoe crabs as "living fossils," potentially offering insights into the evolutionary relationships between RNA viruses and these ancient organisms. In this study, 22 novel RNA viruses were identified across the four horseshoe crab species by screening 117 data sets, including picornaviruses, totiviruses, a flavivirus, a rhabdovirus, as well as a plant-associated tombusvirus and a fungi-associated narnavirus. Additionally, 20 nrEVEs were identified in the genomes of the four horseshoe crab species (hcEVEs), with most sharing homology with the viral family
