Validation of newly synthesized sex-determining PCR using immature Ixodes scapularis (Acari: Ixodidae) ticks.
Article in Journal of medical entomology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The ability to determine the sex of tick nymphs has the potential to answer questions concerning tick biology and pathogen ecology. A duplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that was recently developed for sex determination in adult Ixodes scapularis Say ticks was used to test whether the method could be applied to determine the sex of unfed I. scapularis larvae and nymphs. We found that the duplex PCR could be used to determine the sex of immature ticks and could also be used on small tissue segments from live nymphs.
