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

Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a common arbovirus infection in Croatia. The aim of the study was to analyse 17 years of data on TBE seroprevalence and acute TBE cases in correlation with winter temperature, precipitation and wildlife abundance to identify possible patterns that may be predictive indicators of TBE incidence. Clinical diagnosis of TBE was confirmed by determining IgM and IgG anti-TBE antibodies. Of the 19,094 analysed patients, 4.2% had acute TBE, significantly more often in older age (
