Virological perspectives of the current situation of oncogenic viruses in Egypt: a review.
Review in Infectious agents and cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Oncogenic viruses play a pernicious role in the development of cancer, causing various tumors in humans and animals. These viruses are of public health importance in developing nations. Worldwide, about 15–20% of cancer cases are related to viral infections. About 12% of all cancers in humans are attributed to oncoviruses. However, the accurate rate of cancers attributed to oncoviruses across all animal cancers remains uncertain. In some species, such as chickens and cats, oncoviruses are responsible for approximately 80–100% of specific cancer cases. The first oncovirus reported in humans was the Epstein-Barr virus, in the case of Burkitt’s lymphoma. The Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus was the first oncovirus to be reported in livestock. The main reported tumor viruses of veterinary importance are bovine leukemia virus, jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus, feline leukemia virus, bovine papillomavirus, equine papillomavirus, Marek’s disease virus, avian leukosis virus, and reticuloendotheliosis virus. The control of oncoviruses mainly relies on early molecular methods, such as PCR, with remaining difficulties concerning virus isolation. Moreover, the potential for viral oncogenes to integrate into host genomes underscores the challenges in diagnosis, control, and eradication. These viruses have a significant impact on veterinary health in Egypt, affecting various animal species and posing substantial economic challenges. Therefore, exploring the up-to-date situation of oncogenic viruses recorded in Egypt is essential. This review aims to elucidate the general mechanisms of viral oncogenesis, shedding light on the situation of oncoviruses of veterinary importance that circulate in Egypt, as well as their diagnosis and control.
