Farmers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding lumpy skin disease in Northern Bangladesh.
Article in BMC veterinary research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundLumpy skin disease (LSD), caused by the Capripoxvirus, is an emerging vector-borne viral disease that poses a significant global threat to cattle and buffalo. This transboundary disease is causing substantial economic losses and threatening the livelihoods of farmers in developing countries, such as Bangladesh.
objectiveThe present study aimed to evaluate livestock farmers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) regarding LSD and identify the risk factors influencing their KAP outcomes.
methodsThis cross-sectional study involving 444 randomly selected livestock farmers was conducted in the North Bengal region of Bangladesh from July to October 2025.
resultsA total of 358 male and 86 female farmers participated in this study. The majority (34.7%) were aged 41-50 years, and about one-fourth (26.1%) were illiterate. The survey showed a low level of training among farmers, with only 6.1% trained in general farming, 1.8% trained in transboundary animal diseases, and 2.3% trained in biosecurity. The findings revealed that over half of the farmers demonstrated poor knowledge (53.2%), a negative attitude (53.4%), and poor practices (52.3%) regarding LSD. Logistic regression analysis found that age, sex, residence area, education, farming experience, and training in farming and biosecurity significantly influenced KAP levels. The correlation analysis showed significant positive associations between farmers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices.
conclusionThis study underscores the need for targeted farmer education, improved biosecurity measures, and strategic policy interventions to enhance KAP levels and strengthen LSD control. These findings provide valuable guidance for policymakers and farmers in implementing effective LSD prevention and control strategies, minimizing economic losses, and promoting sustainable livestock farming.
