Seroprevalence and Molecular Detection of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus in Selected Dairy Farms in Southwest Ethiopia.

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
Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) is a significant economic concern due to the risk of persistent infection and complex epidemiology in cattle-producing countries, including Ethiopia. This study aimed to identify the circulating BVD virus type in dairy cattle, investigate seroprevalence, and assess associated risk factors in Jimma town, Oromia regional state, Southwestern Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2023 to April 2024, involving 48 randomly selected dairy farms out of 130 registered ones. In total, 383 serum samples from BVD virus (BVDV) nonvaccinated animals were tested for BVD virus antibodies and antigens using a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit (ID Screen BVD p80 antibody). Additionally, a one-step reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the viral genome in pooled swab samples. Analytical statistics, including chi-square and multivariable logistic regression, were employed for data analysis using SPSS, Version 26. The study revealed that 72 animals (18.8%) and 20 farms (41.7%) tested positive for BVDV antibodies. All the tested samples were negative for BVDV antigen and viral genome. Age, history of respiratory problems, breeding system, and housing system were statistically associated with seroprevalence (
