Generation of Ticks Infected with Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Specific pathogen-free ticks infected with tick-borne viruses are required in vector competence studies and studies on tick-virus-host interactions. Infection of ticks by feeding on infected laboratory animals is the only natural way of infection. However, one of the main rules set in ethical guidelines is reduction of the usage of laboratory animals in experiments. Here we describe an alternative method of tick infection with tick-borne encephalitis virus through parenteral inoculation into the tick hemocoel. Although the method bypasses some of the natural barriers in comparison with virus uptake through the tick blood meal, the efficiency of infection is high with over 90% of ticks containing living virus.
