1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

To investigate local transmission of Orientia tsutsugamushi by chiggers in North Carolina, USA, we tested remnant serum specimens from patients with eschar undergoing testing for suspected tickborne disease. We identified 11 persons with O. tsutsugamushi antibodies, including 4 who were positive by both assays; none had severe clinical manifestations consistent with scrub typhus.
