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

Rhipicephalus larvae (n = 3) were collected from the ricefield rats, Rattus argentiventer, during a pest control program in Paya Laka, Peninsular Malaysia. Morphological examination indicated that these larvae closely resembled Rhipicephalus pilans, based on features such as the acutely pointed end of palpal segment III and a basis capitulum posterior margin that is wider than the scutal anterior margin. However, molecular analyses of the 12 S rRNA, 16 S rRNA, and COI genes showed that they are closely similar to those of Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides. This discordance between morphological and genetic data suggests that there may be multiple species currently classified under the name R. haemaphysaloides.
