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

Blood-sucking ticks are obligate parasites and vectors of a variety of human and animal viruses. Some tick-borne viruses have been identified as pathogens of infectious diseases in humans or animals, potentially imposing significant public health burdens and threats to the husbandry industry. Therefore, identifying the profiles of tick-borne viruses will provide valuable information about the evolution and pathogen ecology of tick-borne viruses. In this study, we investigated the viromes of parasitic ticks collected from the body surfaces of herbivores in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China, two regions in northwest China. By using a metatranscriptomic approach, 17 RNA viruses with high diversity in genomic organization and evolution were identified. Among them, nine are proposed to be novel species. The classified viruses belonged to six viral families, including
