Assessment of occupational exposure of soldiers to Lyme disease and Borrelia miyamotoi disease in selected military training areas from northern Poland.

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
Ixodes ricinus tick is a vector of bacteria of Borreliella genus and Borrelia miyamotoi. Exposure to ticks constitutes occupational risk to soldiers, but the current knowledge on this subject is still limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate tick abundance and prevalence of infection with Borreliella spp. and/or B. miyamotoi. Ticks were collected from vegetation on Drawsko, Ustka and Orzysz military training areas. Additionally, ticks infesting soldiers were also obtained. Ticks were examined by nested PCR and sequencing of flaB gene fragment. General Linear Models of One Variable was used for analysis of mean tick abundance and Maximum Likelihood technique based on log-linear analysis of contingency tables was used for analysis of prevalence of pathogens in ticks. Molecular phylogenetic analyses were also performed. 852 I. ricinus were collected from vegetation from three military areas. The overall mean abundance of ticks was almost 4 ticks/100 m
