Tsutsugamushi Disease in a Non-endemic Season and Region: Suspected Indoor Exposure via Pet-associated Vector Entry.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2026. 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
We report a case of tsutsugamushi disease in a 41-year-old woman diagnosed during a non-endemic season in a previously low-incidence region without any history of outdoor exposure. The patient owned five cats with close contact that moved freely between the indoor and outdoor environments, suggesting the possibility that infected chiggers were carried indoors by the cats and transmitted Orientia tsutsugamushi to the patient. This case suggests that tsutsugamushi disease may be under-recognized and under-reported in such regions. Even in the absence of typical histories such as outdoor exposure, a detailed examination of pet ownership may help raise clinical suspicion.
