Demonstrating persistence of foot-and-mouth disease virus in African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) using BaseScope™ in situ hybridisation.
Article in Veterinary research communications, 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
BaseScope™ in situ hybridisation (Advanced Cell Diagnostics, USA) was used to detect foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), species Aphthovirus vesiculae, in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from African buffalo (Syncerus caffer, n = 15) culled from the Kruger National Park - where the South African territories (SAT)-1, -2 and - 3 serotypes are endemic - as part of their population management program. Foot-and-mouth disease viral RNA was consistently detected in the palatine tonsils and lungs, demonstrating these as primary sites of viral persistence. Detection in the retropharyngeal lymph nodes and interdigital skin was less frequent, while oropharyngeal tissue showed rare positivity. Other sampled tissues - including the tip of the ear, eyelid, tongue, lip, and coronary band - proved suboptimal for identifying FMDV-positive buffalo or carriers. These findings highlight the value of BaseScope™ for detecting low viral loads of FMDV in persistently infected African buffalo, with a notable predilection for the palatine tonsils and lungs.
