Investigation of chikungunya arbovirus in cities of Bushehr province: An ELISA-based cross-sectional study.
Article in Virus research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundChikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne alphavirus transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Despite favorable ecological conditions in southern Iran, data on CHIKV exposure in Bushehr Province are lacking. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of CHIKV-specific IgG antibodies and assess potential viral circulation.
methodsA cross-sectional seroepidemiological survey was conducted from July to September 2023 in ten cities across Bushehr Province. Serum samples (n = 180) collected from volunteers at hospitals and blood donation centers were tested for CHIKV-specific IgG antibodies using a commercial ELISA kit.
resultsOf the 180 serum samples analyzed, five tested positive for CHIKV IgG antibodies, yielding an overall seroprevalence rate of 2.78%. Seropositive individuals were identified in Bushehr, Dashtestan, and Dashti cities, indicating localized and possibly silent transmission.
conclusionsThis study provides the first serological evidence of CHIKV exposure in Bushehr Province. The findings underscore the potential for local transmission in areas where competent Aedes vectors are present and highlight the urgent need for sustained vector surveillance, early warning systems, and public health preparedness in southern Iran.
