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
The factors influencing the distribution and abundance of ectoparasites in vertebrates have been thoroughly examined in rodents, particularly concerning ticks and fleas. However, there is a paucity of knowledge regarding mites. The aim of this study was to determine if host or landscape traits are responsible for the abundance of dermanyssoid and trombiculoid mites. Rodent captures were carried out in the northwest region of Mexico between 2018 and 2022 in order to collect mites of the superfamilies Dermanyssoidea and Trombiculoidea. We generated generalized linear models to determine if rodent characteristics or the Index of Relative Anthropization (IRA) contribute to the relative abundance of Dermanyssoidea and Trombiculoidea. The best generalized linear model for Dermanyssoidea suggests that mite abundance is influenced by the IRA and the terrestrial rodent abundance. There is a relationship between the abundance of terrestrial rodents and dermanyssoid mites. Data show that as anthropization increases, Dermanyssoidea abundance decreases. The model shows rodent abundance, and the IRA are key factors in Trombiculoidea abundance. Our findings indicate that trombiculoid mites increase alongside rodents but decline as the IRA increases. This is the first study to use an index to investigate the impact of relative anthropization on Dermanyssoidea and Trombiculoidea in Mexico.
