Seroprevalence and risk factors of peste des petits ruminants in sheep and goats in the Savannah district, northern Ivory Coast.
Article in Journal of veterinary 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
importancePeste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious viral disease that mainly affects small domestic ruminants. The disease has a significant socioeconomic impact, causing substantial economic losses and adversely affecting international trade.
objectiveThis study examined the prevalence of antibodies against the PPR virus (PPRV) in sheep and goats and assessed the risk factors influencing the epidemiology of the disease in the Savannah district of northern Ivory Coast.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted from September to December 2023, collecting serum samples from sheep (n = 510) and goats (n = 412) aged six months or older. The samples were tested for antibodies against the PPRV using a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
resultsThe overall seroprevalence in small ruminants was 42.62% (95% confidence interval [CI], 39.47-45.84). Females had a significantly higher seroprevalence (47.81% [95% CI, 44.26-51.38]) than males (19.53% [95% CI, 14.23-26.20]). In addition, small ruminants aged over two years had a seroprevalence of 60.80% (95% CI, 56.34-65.08), which was significantly higher than in those aged between one and two years (26.62% [95% CI, 21.62-33.25]) and those aged under one year (18.13% [95% CI, 13.19-24.41]). The highest local seroprevalence in small ruminants was recorded in Tengréla (50.84% [95% CI, 43.55-58.09]) and Boundiali (45.19% [95% CI, 35.91-54.82]). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The presence of anti-PPRV antibodies in sheep and goats in the Savannah district suggests that PPR is prevalent. Therefore, strategic control measures are needed to eradicate the disease by 2030.
