Virome specific to tick genus with distinct ecogeographical distribution.
Article in Microbiome, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
backgroundThe emergence of tick-borne pathogens poses a serious threat to both human and animal health. There remains controversy about virome diversity in relation to tick genus and ecogeographical factors.
resultsWe conducted the meta‑transcriptomic sequencing of 155 pools of ticks encompassing 7 species of 3 genera collected from diverse geographical fauna of Ningxia Province, China. Two species of Dermacentor genus were distributed in the predominantly grassland areas of the central and eastern regions, with the lowest viral diversity. Two species of Hyalomma ticks were found in the predominantly desert areas of the northern regions, with intermediate viral diversity. Three species of Haemaphysalis ticks were concentrated in the predominantly forested areas of the southern regions, exhibiting the highest viral diversity. We assembled 348 viral genomes of 63 species in 14 orders, including 26 novel viruses. The identified viruses were clearly specific to tick genus: 22 virus species were exclusive to Dermacentor, 12 to Hyalomma, and 27 to Haemaphysalis.
conclusionsThe associations between tick genera and geographical distribution, viral richness, and composition provide new insights into tick-virus interactions, offering clues to identify high-risk regions for different tick-borne viruses. Video Abstract.
