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

Ixodes crenulatus and Ixodes acuminatus (subgenus Pholeoixodes) have a broad Palearctic distribution, ranging from Europe to Asia (northern China). This research aimed to explore the phylogenetic relationships and haplotype diversity of these two tick species from Europe, and the Xingjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR, northwestern China). For this, part of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (cox1) gene was amplified, sequenced and compared involving ten specimens of I. crenulatus (n = 8) and I. acuminatus (n = 2) collected in XUAR, as well as sequences of Ixodes canisuga (n = 15), I. acuminatus (n = 13) and Ixodes redikorzevi (n = 6) from Europe retrieved from GenBank. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using MEGA 7.0 program. Haplotype analysis was performed with the DNAsp v5.10.1 program. I. crenulatus and I. canisuga ticks share a common ancestor with a genetic distance of ≤ 0.01. The I. crenulatus ticks from XUAR showing 99.5% sequence similarity with those from Russia. A total of 13 haplotypes and 2 groups of I. canisuga and I. crenulatus were identified, with a genetic diversity of 0.9474 (h) and a nucleotide diversity of 0.0067 (π). I. acuminatus and I. redikorzevi form sister clades with a genetic distance of ≤ 0.02. A total of 12 haplotypes and 5 groups of I. acuminatus and I. redikorzevi were found, exhibiting a genetic diversity of 0.9474 (h) and the nucleotide diversity was 0.0093 (π). I. crenulatus from Russia and XUAR can be grouped into a single clade. The I. acuminatus H-1 haplotype from XUAR was grouped with H-5 haplotype from Spain and H-7 haplotype from Malta according to GenBank data available.
