Recent Threat of Scrub Typhus in India: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Scrub typhus is an endemic illness transmitted by vectors and induced by bacteria. It is the most common and severe rickettsial disease. There are many more cases every year with a significant case fatality rate. Despite being a serious public health threat in India, it is uncertain how widespread and burdensome scrub typhus is. The scarcity of statistical information and pertinent health records on scrub typhus in the outbreak region demonstrates that there is still a significant knowledge gap about this neglected illness. Clinical manifestations of this illness include kidney failure, disability, and severe kidney failure. Undifferentiated symptoms, late diagnosis, and treatment failure are all responsible for deaths. Knowing about this disease is important from a public health point of view due to difficulties in specific diagnosis and a shortage of laboratory services in so many places. India is known to have scrub typhus cases, and doctors should be aware of this potentially dangerous but easily curable illness. The disease is highly difficult to identify clinically from other acute afebrile infections due to common symptoms and a paucity of the lesion in the Indian population. The mainstay of diagnosis is antibody-based serological testing. Within the first week of symptoms, scrub typhus can be diagnosed using molecular and serological tests. Our objective is to identify how severe scrub typhus is in India and to investigate the current epidemiology, etiology, complications, management, and treatment of the disease in both long-established endemic regions and new infection foci.
