First Serological Evidence of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) Infection Among Sheep and Goats in Selected Districts of Central Bangladesh.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 2026. 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
backgroundFoot-and-mouth disease (FMD), caused by the FMD virus (FMDV), is a highly contagious transboundary animal disease of cloven-hooved animals that causes significant economic losses worldwide, including in Bangladesh.
objectivesThis cross-sectional study was designed to assess FMDV antibodies and associated risk factors among sheep and goats in selected districts of Bangladesh.
methodsThe present study was conducted from July to December 2023 in three districts of Dhaka Division in Bangladesh to assess the seroprevalence of FMDV in unvaccinated sheep and goats. For this, a total of 372 (n = 372) blood samples were collected aseptically for serum separation and tested for antibodies against FMDV-nonstructural protein (NSP) using a commercially available ELISA kit. The hypothesized risk factors data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analysed via chi-square tests and logistic regression models to identify their association with FMD seropositivity.
resultsOverall seroprevalence of FMDV was 20.97% (78/372); sheep 50.0% (20/40), goats 17.5% (58/332). Firth's penalized multivariable logistic regression identified species (sheep) (AOR = 17.2, 95% CI = 6.77-48.2, p < 0.001), district (Narsingdi) (AOR = 0.32, 95% CI = 0.13-0.7, p < 0.001), (Gazipur) (AOR = 17.1, 95% CI = 5.21-69, p < 0.001), feeding system (grazing) (AOR = 9.53, 95% CI = 3.45-29.6, p < 0.001), river-basin ecology (AOR = 6.32, 95% CI = 2.09-22.8, p < 0.001), and animal introduction (AOR = 2.33, 95% CI = 1.02-5.45, p = 0.044) as independent risk factors for FMD seropositivity.
conclusionsThis study observed a high seroprevalence of FMDV in sheep and goats within the Dhaka division and highlights the need for broader and routine surveillance of FMD in small ruminants across Bangladesh, alongside cattle and buffaloes, to better understand its epidemiology and inform control strategies.
