Review in Parasites & vectors, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
An increasing number of studies suggest that vector-borne parasites are able to alter phenotypic traits in their arthropod vectors so that microorganism transmission is enhanced. This review documents this phenomenon, which occurs between Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, the causative agents of Lyme borreliosis, and their tick vectors belonging to the Ixodes ricinus complex. It also reviews the influence of other tick-borne pathogens on these ticks. Ticks belonging to the Ixodes ricinus complex benefit from Borrelia infection by an increased lifespan (more fat and more resistance to desiccation) and by an increased questing period (less need to move to the litter zone to rehydrate), which enhances tick chances to find a host and to subsequently transmit the pathogens.
