Detection and variant characterization of lumpy skin disease virus from dairy cattle in India.
Article in Virus evolution, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The spread of a severe and often fatal form of lumpy skin disease (LSD) in cattle and water buffaloes has caused widespread mortality and morbidity of these animals in India. To track and understand the genetic changes occurring in the virus and to enable routine surveillance of the virus, multiplexed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing methods were developed and validated in this study. Multiplexed nested PCR for LSD virus (LSDV) detection was optimized using skin lesion swabs and nasal samples collected from symptomatic and asymptomatic animals. For genotyping, overlapping PCRs to amplify the entire LSDV genome were developed and tested on field samples collected from the Maharashtra and Odisha states of India. Analysis of LSDV genomes from 41 field samples collected in 2022 and 2023 revealed the presence of highly conserved novel mutations. Phylogenetic analysis shows that a distinct genotype of LSDV has spread across India, which warrants genomic surveillance of the virus in the coming years to track the evolution and transmission of the virus. The non-invasive sample collection, detection, and genotyping methods described in this study can facilitate large-scale surveillance of LSDV in dairy animals.
