Interpretation of risk factors of foot and mouth disease in the East of Libya.
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 infection affecting cloven-hoofed animals, causing severe economic impacts despite low mortality. Aim: This study aimed to interpret the epidemiological risk factors contributing to the spread of FMD in the eastern region of Libya. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using field surveys, clinical examinations, and serological testing on 194 cattle and 2606 sheep in El-Beida and Benghazi. Odds ratios were calculated for risk factor analysis. Results: The prevalence was 83.5% in cattle and 54.2% in sheep. The young animals were significantly more susceptible to Rearing conditions, and geographic location impacted infection rates. Vaccination coverage was absent. Conclusion: Age, species, rearing style, geographic location, and lack of vaccination were significant contributors to the prevalence of FMD. These findings highlight the need for targeted control strategies, including vaccination.
