Distribution of the Quill Mite
Article in Journal of parasitology research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Birds and their parasites have coevolved over millions of years, forming intricate relationships that shape biodiversity. Until recently, little was known about the mites parasitizing owl feathers. Quill mites of the family Syringophilidae (Acariformes: Prostigmata) are highly specialised ectoparasites that reside within feather quills. Despite their widespread occurrence, their diversity, distribution and host associations remain poorly understood. This study investigated the distribution and ecological interactions of the quill mite Methods: A total of 196 owl specimens were examined. Feathers were categorised as follows: primaries (P), secondaries (S), rectrices (T), primary greater upper-wing coverts (PGUppC), secondary greater upper-wing coverts (SGUppC), alula feathers (Af) and scapular greater coverts. Results: Prevalence was relatively low across hosts: 9.3% (CI = 4.9%-16.5%; Conclusion: Our findings indicate that
