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

Ticks (Ixodida) are ecologically and epidemiologically important parasites, yet their diversity, host associations, and environmental drivers remain poorly resolved in many parts of the world, including subtropical and urban Hong Kong. Here, we combined wet-season spatial surveys (23 sites in 2023) with monthly temporal sampling (four sites across 11 months in 2024) to characterize the spatiotemporal dynamics of ticks in Hong Kong. Ticks were collected using standardized drags, CO
