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

Ixodes ricinus (Acari: Ixodida) is the main vector in Europe of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia microti. Wolinski National Park (WNP) is situated by the Baltic Sea and is frequently visited by tourists. The aim of the study was to determine the potential risk of exposure to tick borne infection with B. burgdorferi s.l., A. phagocytophilum and B. microti on the areas of WNP. In total, 394 I. ricinus were tested. The pathogens in ticks were detected by PCR, nested PCR, RFLP and sequencing. Altogether, pathogens were detected in 12.69% of the studied ticks. B. burgdorferi s.l., was shown in 0.25% of the studied I. ricinus, while A. phagocytophilum and B. microti were detected in 1.01% and 10.65% of studied ticks, respectively. Co-infection by A. phagocytophilum and B. microti was shown in only one I. ricinus nymph. Analysis of B. burgdorferi s.l., genospecies showed that 0.25% of the studied ticks were infected with Borrelia garinii. The obtained results show the potentially high human risk of exposure to tick-borne infection with B. microti, and the low potential risk of infection with B. garinii and A. phagocytophilum on the studied areas of WNP.
