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

The ornate sheep tick, Dermacentor marginatus, is widespread in Europe. Its vector role of various zoonotic pathogens received much attention in these regions. However, the genomic resources of the ticks are limited. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of a single female D. marginatus collected in Slovakia was sequenced through the Illumina HiSeq sequencing platform. The mitochondrial genome is 15,067 bp long and contains 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and 22 transfer RNA genes. The overall G+C content is 21.6%. The gene order is identical to that of Metastriata ticks. The codon usage pattern is similar with that of other tick species. As in other ticks, two truncated tRNA genes were observed. Two control regions were found between tRNA-Leu and tRNA-Cys, tRNA-Ile and rrnS, respectively. The mitochondrial genome contains three noncoding regions, which is similar to that in D. nitens. The noncoding region located between rrnS and tRNA-Val is shorter than that of other Dermacentor species. Phylogenetic analyses indicate that D. marginatus is clustered with other Dermacentor species. These findings are helpful for exploring the systematics and evolution of ticks in the future.
