Meta-analysis of bovine Varicellovirus bovinealpha1 (BoAHV-1) prevalence in Türkiye and economic relevance.

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
backgroundVaricellovirus bovinealpha1 (BoAHV-1) is among the most important infectious agents affecting cattle health and productivity. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of BoAHV-1 infection in Türkiye and estimate its economic impact using a meta-analytical approach.
resultsA total of 39 studies comprising data from 5,219 animals were included in the meta-analysis. Three analytical groups were established based on sample size and study scale: the small-scale group (SSG), large-scale group (LSG), and herd-level group (HLG). Random effects models were used for prevalence estimation, and heterogeneity was assessed using the Q, I2, and τ2 statistics. Publication bias was evaluated via Egger’s regression and Kendall’s Tau tests. The pooled prevalence was estimated at 0.320 for the SSG group, 0.427 for the LSG group, and 0.356 for the HLG group. The highest level of heterogeneity was identified in the LSG group (I2 = 99.76%). The economic impact of BoAHV-1 was evaluated under two distinct scenarios—one incorporating abortion-related losses and the other excluding them. Principal components of loss included reduced milk production, live weight reduction, delayed onset of first calving, prolonged calving intervals, and losses attributable to aborted calves. The average total economic loss per infected animal was estimated to range from 285.18 to 383.21 USD.
conclusionThese findings suggest a dynamic epidemiological pattern and a potentially high economic burden of BoAHV-1 infection in Türkiye, highlighting the need for effective herd-level control and prevention measures.
