Prevalent Infectious Causes of Abortion in the Ruminant Population in Iran- A Literature Review.
Review in Archives of Razi Institute, 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
Abortion is one of the most crucial problems for ranchers in Iran, in terms of economics, animal healthcare, and zoonotic diseases. The farm animal industry in Iran suffers major economic losses due to abortion each year. Until now, some epizootological studies have been conducted on infectious agents of ruminant abortion in Iran. However, there is no comprehensive information on the ruminant abortion status in Iran. Our goal was to collect all the available information on common infectious causes of abortion in ruminants in Iran to better understand the situation in the country. This review covers all published documents in the main English and Persian-language databases on infectious agents causing abortion inruminants (cattle, sheep, goats, camels and buffalo) in Iran from 1980 to May, 2024.Although ruminant abortion in Iran has multifactorial etiologies, the present study identified infectious diseases as a significant risk factor for abortion in ruminants . Important putative infectious agents that cause abortion in sheep and goats include toxoplasmosis, chlamydiosis, brucellosis and coxiellosis, while in cattle, the important infectious agents include neosporosis, BVDV and BoHV-1. According to our results, a well-defined control strategy for preventing and controlling infectious abortion in Iran should be based on further epidemiological studies on the cause of abortion, accurate recordkeeping, laboratory analysis, control of animal trafficking from neighboring countries and from one region to another within the country, the employment of good biosecurity practices that inhibit the introduction and spread of infectious causes of abortion, and the use of vaccination programs.
