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

PRRSV continues to evolve, complicating its epidemiological landscape in China. In this study, we isolated a novel PRRSV strain, GZ2022, from a swine farm in Guizhou Province. Subsequent analyses performed on this isolate included complete genome sequencing, phylogenetic analysis, recombination assessment, and characterization of its biological properties. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that GZ2022 clusters within Lineage 1 (NADC30-like) and features a 131-amino-acid deletion in NSP2, consistent with NADC30-derived strains. Recombination analysis identified NADC30 as the major parental strain (75% genomic contribution), with a minor recombinant region (25%) derived from the highly pathogenic HuN4 strain. In vitro growth kinetics revealed peak viral titers in Marc-145 cells at 72 h post infection (hpi). Pathogenicity was evaluated in 21-day-old piglets infected with GZ2022, the highly pathogenic PRRSV strain WUH3, or negative controls. Both infected groups exhibited typical PRRS clinical signs (fever, respiratory distress) and histopathological lesions (interstitial pneumonia, pulmonary consolidation). However, GZ2022-infected piglets exhibited attenuated virulence compared to WUH3, with reduced pulmonary hemorrhage and 0% mortality compared to 80% in the WUH3 group. Seroconversion (N-protein antibodies) was observed at 14 dpi (days post inoculation) in GZ2022-infected animals, persisting throughout the 28-day trial. Viral shedding dynamics aligned with moderate pathogenicity. These findings classify GZ2022 as a moderately virulent NADC30-like recombinant strain with partial HuN4-derived genomic regions. The emergence of such strains underscores the need for sustained surveillance of PRRSV genetic diversity and systematic evaluation of the biological properties of novel variants to refine control measures and inform vaccine development.
