The epidemiological and infectious characteristics of novel types of Coxiella burnetii co-infected with Coxiella-like microorganisms from Xuyi County, Jiangsu province, China.

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
Coxiella burnetii (C. burnetii) is the causative agent of Q fever, a type of zoonoses withwidespread distribution. In 2019, a case of Q fever was diagnosed by metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) method in Xuyi County (Jiangsu province, China). The seroprevalence of previous fever patients and the molecular epidemiology of Coxiella in wild hedgehogs and harbouring ticks around the confirmed patient were detected to reveal the genetic characteristics and pathogenicity of the Coxiella strains. Four of the 90 serum samples (4.44%) were positive for specific C. burnetii IgM antibody, suggesting that local humans are at risk of Q fever. The positive rates of C. burnetii in hedgehogs and ticks were 21.9% (7/32) and 70.5% (122/173), respectively. At least 3 strains of Coxiella were found prevalent in the investigated area, including one new genotype of pathogenic C. burnetii (XYHT29) and two non-pathogenic Coxiella-like organisms (XYHT19 and XYHT3). XYHT29 carried by ticks and wild hedgehogs successfully infected mice, imposing a potential threat to local humans. XYHT19, a novel Coxiella-like microorganism, was first discovered in the world to co-infect with C. burnetii in Haemaphysalis flava. The study provided significant epidemic information that could be used for prevention and control strategies against Q fever for local public health departments and medical institutions.
