Seroprevalence and risk factors of Peste des Petits Ruminants virus infection in small ruminants in the Nile Delta Region of Egypt.
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 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
This study aimed to evaluate the seroprevalence of Peste des Petits Ruminants Virus (PPRV) in small ruminants (sheep and goats) across three governorates in the Nile Delta region of Egypt and to identify the associated risk factors. A total of 780 samples were collected and analyzed for PPRV antibodies. The overall seroprevalence was 30.5%, with significant variations between sex, age, flock size, vaccination status, introduction of new animals and water source. The highest seroprevalence was observed in female animals (32.5%), adult animals (43.8%), and large flock (62.3%). Additionally, unvaccinated animals and those sharing water sources had a higher likelihood of seropositivity. Logistic regression analysis confirmed that age, sex, herd size, and vaccination status were significantly associated with PPRV infection. These findings emphasize the need for targeted vaccination campaigns, better management practices, and stricter control of animal movement and water source sharing to reduce the spread of PPR in small ruminants.
