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

Background: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a serious tick-borne zoonotic disease that is caused by CCHFV and has up to 40 % case fatality rates. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2021 to December 2022 across ten Iraqi governorates, including 4339 livestock and 150 laboratory-confirmed human cases. Adult ticks were collected from 188 farms and morphologically identified. Human and livestock sera were tested for CCHFV-specific IgG using ELISA, and tick homogenates were screened for viral antigen. Hematological and biochemical parameters in human cases were analyzed with automated methods. Prevalence estimates, chi-square tests, and logistic regression identified predictors of laboratory abnormalities and mortality. Results: A survey of 4339 livestock in ten Iraqi governorates showed 6.4 % seroprevalence, highest in cattle and in hybrid, female, grazing animals, peaking in spring and autumn. Conclusions: The maintenance of CCHF in Iraq occurs by a cattle-
