Role of cervids in the epidemiology of bovine ephemeral fever virus infection in the Republic of Korea: A cross-sectional retrospective study.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundBovine ephemeral fever (BEF) is a viral disease in cattle and buffaloes, with subclinical involvement in various ruminant species.
objectivesThis study aimed to investigate bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) transmission in deer in the Republic of Korea (ROK) and the potential risk factors associated with seropositivity.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cross-sectional serological survey of neutralising antibodies against BEFV in cervid sera collected from the ROK.
resultsThe seroprevalence of BEFV was estimated to be 10.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 8.5-14.1), demonstrating that exposure to this virus is prevalent among farmed and free-ranging cervids in the ROK. The results revealed that age class and geographic location affected seroprevalence. Older age and the presence of neighbouring ruminant farms were significant risk factors (odds ratio [OR] = 2.394, 95% CI = 1.195-4.796) and (OR = 1.533, 95% CI = 1.026-2.288), respectively. We also observed that the individual likelihood of positivity in the southern provinces was significantly higher than that in the northern provinces (OR = 1.744, 95% CI = 1.001-3.037). There were also significant differences in the seroprevalence of cervids between the western and eastern provinces (OR = 2.021, 95% CI = 1.047-3.900). Factors that were not significantly associated with BEFV antibody prevalence included herd size and species (p > 0.05).
conclusionsThese results suggest that cervid species may serve as important reservoirs for the transmission of BEFV, highlighting the need for closer monitoring of BEFV infections in cervids in the ROK.
