Factors influencing Akabane virus seroprevalence in sheep and goats in Egypt's Nile Delta.
Article in Tropical animal health and production, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This study aimed to investigate the seroprevalence of Akabane virus (AKAV) in sheep and goats in the Nile Delta of Egypt. A total of 820 samples were collected, consisting of 420 sheep and 400 goats, from four governorates and analyzed using competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA). The overall seroprevalence of AKAV was found to be 12.8%, with rates of 11.9% in sheep and 13.8% in goats. Furthermore, the seroprevalence of AKAV infection was significantly associated with various factors, including sex, age, flock size, history of abortion, and the presence of vectors. The odds of AKAV infection were significantly increased twofold in females with a history of abortion, threefold in older animals, and in the presence of vectors. Additionally, the odds were eight times higher in animals raised in flocks of more than twenty. The findings emphasize the need for enhanced surveillance and control measures to mitigate the spread of AKAV, particularly in high-risk populations.
