Drivers of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever in Natural Host and Effects of Control Measures, Bulgaria.
Article in Emerging infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an emerging tickborne disease and a World Health Organization priority. Although humans are accidental hosts, infection can lead to hemorrhagic fever with a high fatality rate. Domestic animals play a critical role in disease transmission, but infected animals do not show clinical signs and viremia is short; thus, CCHF virus (CCHFV) infections can remain unobserved. During 2017-2019, we conducted 2 sequential observational studies followed by a multisite randomized controlled trial to determine spatial-temporal patterns and quantify drivers for CCHFV exposure in a natural host (sheep) in a CCHF-endemic area of Bulgaria. We found high-risk areas embedded in endemic regions. Animal characteristics were not correlated with seropositivity; however, a seasonality effect was observed, suggesting sampling time was a potential confounder. Force of infection varied across farms and over time. CCHFV transmission heterogeneity among farms is driven by preventive measures used to reduce exposure to ticks.
