Fluctuation of the prevalence of beak and feather disease virus in captive psittacines in Iran.

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
Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is one of the most life-threatening viral agents infecting parrot species. In this study, we investigated fluctuation in the prevalence of beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) in captive psittacines in Iran. Two series of feather samples from different psittacine species, received between July 2019 and July 2021 (n = 1009) and between July 2021 and July 2022 (n = 2020), were examined for the presence of BFDV using the PCR method, and the host species distribution and temporal prevalence of BFDV within populations were calculated. The results showed a total viral prevalence of 26.86% and 26.88% within sample series 1 and 2, respectively. By examining both sample series, the prevalence of BFDV was found to be the highest (P < 0.05) in Nymphicus hollandicus and the lowest (P < 0.05) in Psittacus erithacus, Myiopsitta monachus, Pyrrhura molinae, and Aratinga solstitialis. The viral prevalence was significantly higher (P < 0.05) within the series 1 than the series 2 samples only in Nymphicus hollandicus. Within series 2, the viral prevalence was significant (P < 0.05) in samples from Nymphicus hollandicus collected in March. This study indicates significant prevalence of BFDV in captive Nymphicus hollandicus populations and suggests that the fluctuation in the prevalence of BFDV could be due to the combined influence of host-species and temporal factors.
