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

Ornithodoros fonsecai is an argasid tick that is endemic to Brazil. The autogeny (the oviposition without a blood meal) can be facultative or obligatory in female ticks of the family Argasidae. The present study reports new records on the facultative autogeny among populations of O. fonsecai from the states of Ceará and Pernambuco, northeast Brazil. The specimens obtained were fed on rabbits and kept in a biological oxygen demand (BOD) at 25 °C ± 1 ºC. All females obtained from both populations emerged from nymphs of third instar (N3) were autogenic, which were fed once before molting. Approximately 183 eggs were observed between 22 and 29 days (oviposition period), with a hatching rate of larvae of 52%, from two females of Ceará, and around 367 eggs between 20 and 35 days, with 92% of hatching of larvae, from three females of Pernambuco. Previously, this behavior has already been registered only in a population in the municipality of Nobres, state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Thus, the present study reports facultative autogeny in females of O. fonsecai among populations from the states of Ceará and Pernambuco in northeastern Brazil.
