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

Background: Young pigs are often coinfected with porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). This study aimed to determine the impact of coinfection of pigs with PCV2 and PEDV. Forty 16-day-old crossbred mixed-sex piglets were assigned to four groups ( Results: No clinical signs were observed in the NEG-CONTROL and PCV2-CONTROL group pigs throughout termination of the study at dpi 21. Other than mild to moderate diarrhea, which lasted for about 7 days, no other clinical signs associated with PEDV or PCV2 infection were observed in the PEDV-CONTROL and PEDV+PCV2 groups. Conclusion: Coinfection of PEDV and PCV2 had no effect on virus shedding, serum antibody profile, and macroscopic or microscopic lesions.
