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

Contrawise to mosquitoes, there is no country-wide long-term surveillance of ticks in Germany, leading to large gaps in coverage for distribution data. Here we report on results from two consecutive tick studies in northern Rhineland-Palatinate, western Germany, conducted in 2022 and 2023. In 2022, a new focus of the ornate sheep tick Dermacentor marginatus was detected at a military training area east of Coblenz ("Schmidtenhöhe") which is partially managed as a nature reserve where old races of cattle and horses are grazing. Two unexpected further foci were discovered north and west of the city in 2024. In 2023, repeated flagging in a small area of a forest southwest of Coblenz ("Stadtwald") revealed four nymphs of the passerine bird tick Ixodes frontalis. However, over 99% of all flagged ticks turned out to belong to the species Ixodes ricinus (Linnaeus, 1758).
