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
Neoehrlichia mikurensis is vector-borne gram-negative intracellular bacteria that has a wide range of hosts, and are recognized as emerging human pathogens. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and genetic characteristics of N. mikurensis infections in rodents from central and southern of Shanxi Province, China. The rodents were captured, and the liver, spleen and kidney were collected for N. mikurensis detection and identification by 16 S rRNA and groEL genes sequencing. N. mikurensis was detected in Apodemus agrarius from Yangquan and Eothenomys inez from Yuncheng, with a positivity rate of 0.66% (2/301). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16 S rRNA and groEL genes revealed that the sequences in this study formed distinct branches separate from reported clusters (Clusters I-IV), clustered near Clusters III and IV, which the pathogenicity was unclear. Analysis of groEL gene polymorphism identified 12 haplotypes (Hap-1 to Hap-12) among 64 sequences (one novel sequence from this study and 63 from GenBank), with high haplotype diversity (Hd = 0.770 ± 0.030). Dominant haplotypes (Hap-2, Hap-3, Hap-4; 82.8% of sequences) exhibited distinct geographic specific patterns. In addition, Asian sequences exhibited greater diversity than European sequences, and human-derived sequences showed the higher genetic diversity than rodent- and tick-derived sequences. Overall, the detection of N. mikurensis in rodents in Shanxi Province expands its known distribution and provides novel insights into the genetic diversity in different regions and hosts.
