Anaplasmosis: Emerging threat in Canada.
Review in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 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
objectiveTo provide an overview of the diagnosis and management of patients with anaplasmosis, also known as SOURCES OF INFORMATION: A PubMed search was conducted between October 2024 and March 2025 using the search terms MAIN MESSAGE: Tick-borne illnesses are becoming more prevalent in Canada due to the effects of climate change. Anaplasmosis is a lesser-known tickborne illness transmitted by the same vectors as Lyme disease. Patients with anaplasmosis commonly present with a nonspecific febrile illness, often without a distinctive rash. Leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and mild transaminitis are commonly seen in bloodwork results. Family physicians in Canada should familiarize themselves with this relatively new entity and include it in their differential diagnosis when evaluating patients with fever of unknown origin. In such cases, polymerase chain reaction testing for anaplasmosis, alongside Lyme disease serology, should be considered. Patients with either disease respond well to treatment with doxycycline.
conclusionWith the expanding range of tick populations in Canada, the risk of anaplasmosis, along with other tick-borne illnesses, is becoming more prevalent. Increased awareness among family physicians is critical for timely diagnosis. Prompt recognition and treatment can reduce the risk of complications.
