Tick-Borne Viruses in Finland: Public Health Risks, Interventions and Research Insights.
Review in Veterinary medicine and science, 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
Ticks are obligate haematophagous arthropods that serve as vectors for diverse pathogens, including viruses, bacteria and protozoa. In Finland, the two primary tick species, Ixodes ricinus (castor bean tick) and Ixodes persulcatus (taiga tick), have been identified in the transmission of tick-borne viruses (TBV), notably tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV). This article reviews the epidemiology, public health interventions and research on ticks and TBVs in Finland over the past six decades (1960-2020), highlighting the marked increase in tick populations and the incidence of tick-borne diseases in humans. Factors contributing to these trends include climate change, shifts in land use and alterations in ecosystem dynamics, which have expanded the geographical range and seasonal activity of ticks. This evolving epidemiological landscape poses significant public health challenges, necessitating effective monitoring and intervention strategies. Current research efforts focusing on understanding the dynamics of tick populations, the distribution of TBVs, and the effectiveness of TBEV vaccination and general prevention measures are crucial for mitigating risks associated with tick-borne viral diseases in Finland.
