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: Objective: In 2021, passive and active tick surveillance programs collected ticks and associated data elements, including location, infection and other characteristics, to monitor their populations and inform public health prevention and mitigation activities. Methods: Surveillance data for ticks were compiled from the National Microbiology Laboratory (Public Health Agency of Canada), provincial public health, Canadian Lyme Disease Research Network and eTick (an image-based online platform). A descriptive analysis of tick records and infection prevalence of tick-borne pathogens is presented. Seasonal trends are described. Results: During 2021, 6,892 Conclusion: As the risk of infection with tick-borne diseases continues to grow in many parts of Canada, monitoring trends in infection prevalence and the geographical range expansion of ticks provides essential data to inform public health actions and messaging.
