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

It has been more than three-quarters of a century since the inaugural report of Delaware's ticks was published. To provide an updated checklist of tick species currently known to occur in Delaware, we reviewed the scientific literature, examined tick collections, accessed archived tick specimen data, and analyzed findings from the state's ongoing tick surveillance program, initiated in 2019. We report here a total of 15 established hard tick species (Ixodidae), as well as additional Ixodidae and 2 soft tick species (Argasidae) that are not yet confirmed as established. We summarize the phenology of each species and its known distribution in Delaware and public health importance. We also provide a table of known tick-host associations for Delaware.
