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

Objective: Rodents and other sympatric small mammals serve as reservoir hosts for zoonotic diseases including scrub typhus and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), with their ectoparasitic mites (chiggers and gamasid mites) acting as vectors. This 12-month study investigated mite infestation, community structure, seasonal dynamics, and climatic drivers on small mammal hosts in Jingha, southern Yunnan, China-a known scrub typhus and HFRS. Methods: We calculated infestation metrics (prevalence [ Results: From 2,424 small mammal hosts (15 species), we collected 142,471 mites (158 species). Chiggers (109 species, 109,093 individuals) significantly outnumbered gamasid mites (49 species, 33,378 individuals; Conclusion: Community indices fluctuated monthly without distinct peaks, while dominant species abundances varied significantly. Climatic factors exerted species-specific effects:
