Outbreak of Scrub Typhus in Jammu - A Report.
Article in Medical journal, Armed Forces India, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundJammu is scrub typhus prone. Scrub typhus is often seen when troops move out of permanent locations.
methodsIn a prospective study cases of fever reporting to the local military hospital from July to October 2002 were examined clinically, investigated and categorised as scrub typhus when Weil Felix readings were above 1:160.
resultsTwelve cases of scrub typhus were diagnosed during the period of study. The clinical features included fever, malaise and conjunctival congestion. However rashes were rare and only one had an eschar. Multisystem complications occurred in one patient. There was a spatial and temporal clustering of cases. Control of outbreak was carried out by 25% benzyl benzoate impregnation of clothing, clearing of scrub, residual spray with malathion and antirodent measures.
conclusionScrub typhus outbreaks have been noted whenever troops move out of permanent locations to scrub areas.
