Sixty years of climate impact on Ixodes ricinus (Ixodidae).
Article in Experimental & applied acarology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Understanding how long-term climatic changes shape the distribution of disease vectors is essential to anticipate future health and ecological risks. Using long term climatic data (1960-2019) across Europe, we analysed temporal trends, abrupt shifts, and the velocity of climate change in maximum and minimum temperature and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and evaluated their influence on the climatic niche of the tick Ixodes ricinus. Our results reveal a widespread warming and drying trend, with strong regional heterogeneity. A major regime shift occurred during the 1980s, leading to an abrupt increase of the slope of growth of minimum temperature in northern Europe, or VPD, particularly in the Mediterranean Basin. The length of growing season and accumulated degree days increased markedly after this decade, consistent with a climate tipping point. Despite these shifts, climate velocity remained relatively low (< 5 km year⁻
