The viral tick talks: how vectors and wildlife shape Kyasanur forest disease ecology.
Synthesis in Archives of virology, 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
Kyasanur Forest Disease (KFD) is a tick-borne zoonotic disease in India that causes fatal hemorrhagic fever in humans. Despite its complex network of hosts and vectors, the interspecific interactions shaping its disease ecology remain underexplored. We aimed to identify these interactions and pathways aiding disease spread within connected landscapes and across geographic barriers. Through a systematic review and meta-analysis, we mapped KFD locations, vectors' feeding niches, and disease hosts. We found 53 KFD associated species from Western Ghats (active disease location) and 27 potentially associated species from Andaman and Nicobar Islands (KFD seroprevalence location). Each tick's host ranges revealed unique interactions and potential transmission patterns among host animals. We challenge the current notion of KFD as an endemic primate disease, since primates are absent in the majority of the islands of Andaman and Nicobar with seroprevalence. Here, small mammals could be local hosts, while birds may act as potential dispersers across geographic barriers.
