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

Eyes are essential sensory organs needed by teleost Atlantic salmon for high visual acuity and survival in both the wild and in aquaculture settings. In this work, we assessed the ocular manifestations of Infectious Salmon Anaemia Virus (ISAV) infection in Atlantic salmon by a cohabitation-mediated infection assay and histological and immunohistochemical approaches. The findings reveal that Atlantic salmon with a systemic ISAV infection displayed ISAV antigen accumulation in specific ocular tissues and significant ocular morphological changes that could compromise visual acuity. Immunohistochemical analyses showed that ISAV-related ocular pathological changes correlate with changes in expression levels and/or spatial localizations of IgM, Sox6, Sox9, collagen type 1, Gata1, and CD10 in specific compartments of the eye. The cornea is likely one of the first ocular tissues to be exposed to the cohabitation-mediated ISAV infection. The ISAV-infected Atlantic salmon showed corneal dysplasia, which correlated with increased corneal stromal ISAV antigen expression, dysregulated IgM, Sox6, and collagen type 1 expression, and an induction of Sox9 expression at the corneal surface. The choroid rete mirabile of ISAV-infected eyes showed a decreased complement of erythrocytes, consistent with anaemia, while Gata1 expression, a key mediator of erythropoiesis, was upregulated compared to non-infected eyes, suggesting a potential erythropoietic compensatory response. These findings provide a basis for further study of ISAV-mediated ocular pathological changes and new insight into the pathogenesis of orthomyxoviruses in the eye.
