1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

In recent years, vector-borne viral, bacterial and parasitic diseases have emerged or re-emerged in many geographic regions, causing health and economic problems. Wildlife can act as reservoirs for many human and livestock diseases and that arthropods are often involved in the transmission of these pathogens. Little is known about the zoonotic pathogens that naturally occur in wild rodent and insectivorous shrew species in South Africa. The aims of the study were to: 1) record the tick-borne haemoparasite diversity associated with rodents and shrews at several localities in South Africa, and 2) characterise
