Serological and Molecular Evidence of Bovine Leukemia Virus in Sheep Populations in the South of Iran.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 2025. 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
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a neoplastic lymphosarcoma affecting cattle worldwide. Sheep, as one of the multiple host species for BLV, can transmit the virus to various animals and potentially to humans. Recognizing a gap in research, particularly in southern Iran, where the prevalence of BLV in sheep populations has not been investigated, this study aimed to fill this gap. One hundred blood samples were collected from seven flocks of sheep in the Fars province, Shiraz, southern Iran. Our study specifically investigated the prevalence of BLV in sheep populations in southern Iran, using serological and molecular analyses. Anti-gp51 IgG antibodies and proviral DNA were detected using ELISA and nested PCR, respectively. In this study, 37% of the 100 sheep tested positive for BLV IgG antibodies from the Fars province in southern Iran. The gag BLV gene with a band length of 385 bp was detected in 3% (3/100) of the samples. In this study, we examined the evidence of BLV in sheep from southern Iran. Control measures are needed to reduce infection in definitive hosts.
