Ticks and tick-borne diseases in the northern hemisphere affecting humans.
Review in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Temperate zones of the northern hemisphere are increasingly impacted by human biting ticks and the human pathogens they transmit. The relationships among ticks, hosts, and pathogens are undergoing significant changes with consequences for human health. This northern hemisphere focused review examines human biting ticks and the disease causing agents they transmit as increasing public health threats due to geographic range expansion, increasing size of tick populations, emergence of newly recognized pathogens, introduction of invasive tick species that are resulting in part from changing weather patterns, land use modifications, biodiversity loss, and human activities/behaviors; all of which result in significant challenges for tick control and disease prevention. As a result of these evolving interactions and the resulting threats they pose, there exist critical needs to implement existing and develop novel tools and strategies to prevent tick bites, control tick populations, and reduce transmission of tick-borne pathogens. Timely, up to date knowledge of which ticks and tick-borne infectious agents are present within an area is foundational for physicians, public health authorities tasked with disease prevention, and the public. Achieving these objectives poses significant challenges. Here, we examine current medically important tick - host - pathogen relationships in Asia, Europe, and North America.
