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

Forest cover has undergone significant changes accelerating over recent decades. Acari vectors such as ticks and chigger mites are intricately linked to forest ecosystems because of the suitable hosts and microclimates provided. However, the implications of forest cover change on Acari vectors and their pathogens remain poorly understood. This study investigates the impacts of forest cover dynamics on Acari-borne diseases risk worldwide through a comprehensive review of the literature. We conducted a scoping review following the PRISMA Method to retrieve citations related to forest cover dynamics and Acari-borne diseases. Eligibility criteria were predefined and relevant data were extracted from selected articles. The analysis employed a descriptive approach and thematic narrative synthesis. Our review revealed that the influence of forest cover dynamics on Acari-borne diseases and vectors was predominantly discussed within a Western context, especially regarding
