Evaluation of applied foot and mouth disease-providing measures in the Republic of Armenia: A retrospective study.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease that affects livestock and causes significant economic losses. Control of FMD relies on culling infected animals and implementing comprehensive vaccination programs. Armenia's livestock sector, with extensive use of remote pastures and proximity to countries where FMD is endemic, faces particular challenges in managing the disease. Aim: This study aims to review the epidemiological trends of FMD in Armenia over the past 60 years, evaluate the effectiveness of vaccination campaigns, and assess strategies for maintaining a stable epidemiological situation. Methods: Historical data on FMD outbreaks, vaccination coverage in cattle, small ruminants, and pigs, and vaccine effectiveness were analyzed. Special attention was given to the identification of circulating virus subtypes and the implementation of preventive vaccination strategies adapted to Armenia's geographic and epidemiological conditions. Results: Armenia has implemented a nationwide preventive vaccination program for cattle, small ruminants, and pigs, which has proven practical and economically viable. Regular monitoring of virus subtypes in high-risk areas and updating vaccine antigens to match emerging strains have ensured strong immunological protection. The main route of FMD introduction has been through shared summer pastures with neighboring countries. Timely preventive actions and systematic vaccination campaigns have contributed to a stable epidemiological situation and a reduced risk of outbreaks. Conclusion: Sustained preventive strategies, regional surveillance, and updated vaccines have been key to controlling FMD in Armenia. The combination of timely preventive measures, systematic vaccination, and antigen-matched vaccines has effectively reduced outbreak risk and supported long-term disease containment in the country.
