Ability of Two Commercially Available Host-Targeted Technologies to Reduce Abundance of Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae) in a Residential Landscape.
Article in Journal of medical entomology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Host-targeted technologies provide an alternative to the use of conventional pesticide applications to reduce the abundance of Ixodes scapularis Say, the vector for an array of tick-associated human diseases. We compared the ability of Damminx Tick Tubes (Damminix) and SELECT Tick Control System (Select TCS) bait boxes to control host-seeking I. scapularis nymphs in a wooded residential environment. Small mammals accepted and used Select TCS bait boxes with greater frequency compared to Damminix tubes over the course of the 2-yr trial. Nymphal tick infestation prevalence and intensity on captured mice and chipmunks provided no conclusive evidence of a treatment effect during May-June of both years. However, both treatments had a measurable effect on larval tick burdens in July-August and the magnitude of the effect was greater at the Select TCS-treated area and reflected the fact that Select TCS effectively treated chipmunks, while Damminix did not. Deployment of Damminix resulted in 27.6 and 20.3% control of questing nymphs in treated areas at 1 yr and 2 yr postintervention, while Select TCS bait boxes provided 84.0 and 79.1% control, respectively. The economics of residential tick control using these products in wooded residential landscapes is discussed.
