Global trends in tick research: a comprehensive visualization and bibliometric study (2015-2024).
Synthesis in Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology, 2025. 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
Introduction: Ticks are ectoparasitic blood-sucking arthropods. As key disease vectors, the pathogens transmitted by ticks pose significant threats to livestock and global public health. Methods: We searched the Web of Science and Scopus databases for global literature on ticks published between 2015 and 2024. Using VOSviewer and CiteSpace software, we conducted bibliometric and visualization analyses of the national, institutional, journal, author, keyword, and reference data from the relevant literature. The aim was to assess the characteristics of global tick-related scientific research, identify research hotspots, and explore future trends in this field. Results: The study comprised 13,499 valid articles. The United States led with 30.85% of the articles, followed by China (10.46%) and Brazil (9.99%). Marcelo B. Labruna, a Brazilian author, demonstrated the highest productivity. The institution with the most articles was Universidade de São Paulo, and the journal Discussion: The study of ticks and the diseases they transmit, as well as the pathogens they carry, has always been a focus for researchers worldwide. Under global climate change, the diversity of tick-borne pathogens is expanding, as evidenced by their increased geographical distribution patterns. Therefore, research is increasingly moving toward multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral approaches, aiming to safeguard the environment and to protect the health of humans and livestock through the establishment of systematic tick control systems.
