Characterization of a strain of Serratia sp. with ixodicide activity against the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus.
Article in Experimental & applied acarology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Cattle ticks are considered the most important ectoparasite in the livestock industry. Rhipicephalus microplus causes economic losses both through direct feeding on livestock and through disease transmission. Reports of the failure of chemical ixodicides to control this tick have led to a search for control alternatives, such as bacteria with ixodicide activity. The objective of this work was to select a bacterial strain with ixodicide activity against R. microplus. In total, 83 bacterial strains were isolated from soil and dead R. microplus specimens, and all strains were evaluated against larvae in a screening test. Bacteria with ixodicide activity were evaluated in larvae and engorged adult female ticks. The larvae were challenged using the larval immersion test (LIT) with 20 µg/mL total protein. The median lethal concentration (LC
