Molecular surveillance reveals Rickettsia aeschlimannii in ticks from livestock in northwestern Iran: A short communication.

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
Arthropod-borne rickettsial pathogens are affecting both human and animal health. Due to the lack of studies on tick-borne rickettsiae in this region, the present study aimed to investigate the molecular identity of Rickettsia spp. in ticks in Northwestern Iran. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Ardabil Province from January to December 2024. A total of 700 ticks were collected from livestock. DNA was extracted from pooled ticks, and PCR assays targeting the gltA and 16S rRNA genes were performed to detect Rickettsia spp.; positive PCR products were sequenced for confirmation (Pishgam, Iran). A total of 700 ticks belonging to nine species were isolated from livestock. Among these, Rhipicephalus bursa was the most common species. PCR detected Rickettsia DNA in 2 of 26 pools (7.7%), according to accession gene code: PV929760 and PV929761. According to our findings, R. aeschlimannii was detected in ticks from northwestern Iran. Livestock-associated ticks, including Rhipicephalus spp., are considered logical candidates for further study. Our study highlighted the need for continued surveillance using a One Health approach.
