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

Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann, the Asian longhorned tick (ALT), has quickly established widespread invasive populations in the United States since its first at-large detection in 2017. Until recently, no male ALT has been verifiably collected in the United States, despite examinations of tens of thousands of individual specimens, thus affirming that the US incursion was founded by ticks from a parthenogenetic source population of ALT. This report documents the first validated male ALT specimen in the United States, collected in May 2023 on a cattle farm in Gallia County, Ohio. This specimen shows morphological signs of gynandromorphism in its palps, hypostome, genitalia, and anal aperture.
