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 order to evaluate the seroprevalence of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis in western Austria, sera from 357 Tyrolean blood donors were tested by an immunofluorescence assay. To assess the concomitant seroreactivity against Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, sera were further investigated by enzyme-linked immunoassay and Western blot. Thirty-two sera (9.0%) showed antibodies to Anaplasma phagocytophilum at a titre of 1:128 or higher, and 30 (8.4%) were seroreactive against Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. Infection with these two pathogens seems to occur in all Tyrolean districts except Landeck, the most upstream district of the Inn River Valley.
