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
Objective: This research assessed the prevalence of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) among cattle herds from five provinces in the Casablanca-Settat region of Morocco (Benslimane, Settat, Berrechid, El Jadida, and Sidi Bennour), which experience respiratory and reproductive disorders. Antigen capture ELISA and real-time RT-PCR were utilized for the detection of BVDV. Materials and Methods: From January 2021 to June 2025, 500 blood serum samples and 500 leukocyte samples from cattle with respiratory or abortive symptoms were collected and analyzed using an antigen capture ELISA assay and a real-time RT-PCR assay, respectively, for BVD antigens or genome sequence. Results: Of the 500 sampled cattle, 9 (1.8%) tested positive, with all 9 results being actively infected with BVDV confirmed via RT-PCR test. The positive results were found across four provinces; Benslimane had the highest proportion of positive cases (44.4%), while Settat and Berrechid each had 22.2% of the positives, and El Jadida had one (11.1%) case. No cases were found in Sidi Bennour. Conclusion: This study presents the first documented case of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus infection in Morocco, highlighting its potential for widespread circulation in the country. These results underscore the need for further studies to isolate and characterize circulating strains of BVDV, with the goal of developing effective prevention and control strategies to minimize their negative impacts on cattle health and productivity.
