Seroprevalence of bovine viral diarrhea in Camelus dromedarius from Tunisia.

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 Viral Diarrhea (BVD) is a highly contagious viral disease primarily affecting cattle. with emerging evidence of its spread to dromedary camels. This study evaluates the seroprevalence of BVD Pestivirus and identifies associated risk factors in Tunisian one-humped dromedaries (Camelus dromedarius). A total of 470 serum samples were randomly collected from dromedaries across eight governorates in southern and central Tunisia, screening them using a using a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The overall seropositivity rate was 23.6% (95% CI: 20-27%), with 111 camels testing positive for BVD antibodies. A multivariate analysis revealed three significant risk factors: younger camels (< 5 years old) showed higher seropositivity, camels in close contact with other ruminants had increased seroprevalence, and infection rates peaked during the summer. These findings suggest that Tunisian one-humped dromedaries are at risk of BVD Pestivirus, impacting epidemiologic dynamics among local livestock. Therefore, incorporating dromedaries into control strategies is crucial to reduce the economic impact of this disease at both local and continental levels.
