Clinical and laboratory findings in tick-borne encephalitis virus infection.
Article in Parasite epidemiology and control, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
purposeTick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE), a disease caused by Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus (TBEV), is emerging in Italy. This study aimed to characterize the epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, imaging and electroencephalogram characteristics in Belluno, North-East Italy.
results76% were males, mean age 53 years; 50% did not report tick bite. 72% had a biphasic course, 42% a monophasic one, 8 cases of abortive TBE. Mostly no specific symptoms were observed, together with neurological signs and symptoms. None died, but 35% had sequelae at the one-month follow-up. Men had a higher risk of having neurological/neurocognitive sequelae; paresthesia or tremors were associated independently with sequelae. In terms of laboratory data, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and lymphocytosis were associated with the first phase (
conclusionsAlthough patients have not reported a tick bite, TBEV infection should be considered for diagnosis. Usually no specific symptoms are reported along with neurological signs and symptoms. The biphasic course is more often described than the monophasic course; abortive TBE is sometimes present. Paresthesia and tremors are independently associated with neurological/neurocognitive sequelae; men have a higher risk of having sequelae. The first phase is probably associated with thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and lymphocytosis; the second with monocytosis, lymphocytopenia, high levels of CRP and ESR. Electrolyte disorders, high levels of transaminases, GGT, bilirubin, CPK, LDH, fibrinogen and amylase may characterize TBEV infection.
