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

Borrelia miyamotoi spirochete is carried by Ixodidae ticks and causing Borrelia miyamotoi disease (BMD), a relapsing fever illness reported worldwide, often in the same geographic areas where Lyme disease is endemic. The purpose of this study was to examine the presence of B. miyamotoi infection in Dermacentor reticulatus and Ixodes ricinus ticks collected within the boundaries of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, Ukraine. A total of 1176 adult D. reticulatus ticks and 113 adult I. ricinus ticks sampled from five different habitats in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, Ukraine, were tested for Borrelia miyamotoi using a two-step nested PCR procedure. Borrelia miyamotoi was found in two (0.17%) out of the 1176 D. reticulatus ticks tested. The obtained sequences were submitted to GenBank (MZ365312-MZ365313). Phylogenetic analysis showed that the B. miyamotoi sequences detected cluster together with a strain originating from I. scapularis in the USA. The strain identified in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone belongs to the group of strains found in Eastern Europe and Asia, north of the Himalayas. No I. ricinus ticks were found to be infected. This study presents the first detection of B. miyamotoi in D. reticulatus ticks in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, Ukraine.
