Case report: Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Acari) attacking laying birds in conventional poultry houses.
Article in Veterinary research communications, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank) (Acaridae) is one of the most allergenic mite species worldwide, and it particularly infests household environments, animal feed factories, and food factories. It has been the aim of several studies recently in the healthcare area due to its allergenic potential. However, there had been no records of this species attacking laying birds until this report. This is the first record of adverse reactions in animals triggered by infestations of this species. Therefore, the present study aims at describing the damages and symptomatology of T. putrescentiae infestations on commercial laying hens. Alopecia and dermatitis were symptoms exacerbated by T. putrescentiae infestation starting at 40 weeks old. The presence of this species on hens, as observed in the present study, might be directly related to the accumulation of food and poultry litter on these birds, in their cages, or in the vicinities. Hence, the results might be related to their feeding behavior, which consists of continuous supply of animal feed in these management systems. The present study provides an unprecedented record that reveals the importance and potential for emergency pest status of T. putrescentiae in the poultry industry. Its infestations in poultry houses probably required constant sanitary care and monitoring are required in order to prevent outbreaks of this mite.
