Mitochondrial 16S rDNA sequences help identify North American ticks in the genus Argas (Acari: Argasidae).

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
Argas (Acari: Argasidae) ticks in the United States include 8 species that parasitize domestic fowl and numerous wild avian species. Ticks infesting a single nest tree of a bald eagle Haliaeetus leucocephalus (Linnaeus) in southern Arizona (United States) were received for identification and included 2 species, Argas (Persicargas) radiatus Railliet (Acari: Argasidae) and Argas (Persicargas) ricei Hoogstraal, Kaiser, Clifford & Keirans (Acari: Argasidae). Their identities were based on key morphological characters supported by mitochondrial 16S rDNA sequences compared to museum reference specimens. DNA sequences of Argas ticks collected from rocky cliffs in northwestern Arizona identified a novel species most closely related to Argas (Argas) monolakensis Schwan, Corwin & Brown (Acari: Argasidae). Another collection from a communal enclosure containing California condors, Gymnogyps californianus (Shaw) in the San Diego Zoo, California (United States) consisted of all active stages of A. (P.) ricei. The examination of these ticks led to an expanded analysis of other Argas species in the United States with a review of their current status.
