Epidemiology of lumpy skin disease in Northeast India and a new method for rapid field diagnosis.
Article in AMB Express, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD), a viral disease affecting cattle and related species, entered India in 2019, with first outbreak reported in Odisha, and has since caused significant economic losses to the Indian livestock sector. Following its entry, the disease spread rapidly to various states, including the northeastern region which is known for its porous borders. A total of 56 clinical samples (whole blood, skin scrapings, nasal swab, skin lesions and serum) were collected from various outbreaks of LSD in Meghalaya. World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH)-recommended probe-based real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting LSDV126 region detected Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) in 42 out of 56 clinical samples. Additionally, 182 contemporary serum samples were screened using commercial ELISA kit which indicated an apparent seroprevalence of 11.54% (95% confidence interval [CI] 7.7-17%) and a true prevalence of 12.3% (95% CI 7.86-18.53%). Three representative samples were subjected to partial sequencing-based phylogenetic analysis targeting the LSDVp32 and LSDV117 regions which confirmed the diagnosis of LSD and also revealed circulation of the Kenyan field strain-associated LSDV. Furthermore, a novel isothermal approach exploiting Saltatory Rolling Circle Amplification (SRCA) mechanism was also explored with WOAH-recommended conventional PCR primers which yielded results comparable to real-time PCR-based diagnostic methods with a minimum detection limit of 10 copies/µL of the standard plasmid. The availability of this rapid and reliable diagnostic assay could be harnessed for early diagnosis of LSD, especially in resource-limited and field laboratory settings and ultimately aid in the timely implementation of control strategies.
