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: This article continues the annual series on tick surveillance in Canada, tracking two of the primary tick vectors of concern in the country, Objective: This study analyzed passive and active tick surveillance data, including geographic distribution, pathogen prevalence and other characteristics to inform public health prevention. Methods: Passive and active surveillance data were compiled from eTick (an online, image-based platform), the National Microbiology Laboratory (Public Health Agency of Canada), provincial and local public health authorities and the Canadian Lyme Disease Research Network. Descriptive statistics of ticks and their associated pathogens are presented, including infection prevalence estimates. Results: In 2022, a total of 7,030 Conclusion: This report provides a summary of tick surveillance data collected in 2022. Tick characteristics and tick-borne pathogen infection prevalence were similar to previous years. Tick surveillance continues to play an important role in monitoring infection prevalence among ticks and their geographic distribution, which will help inform public health prevention and intervention efforts.
