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

Objective: Fleas are obligate ectoparasites of mammals and play an important role in the transmission of zoonotic pathogens, including Methods: From 2022 to 2025, small mammals were trapped in four counties in northern Xinjiang, China. A total of 723 individuals representing eight small mammal species were examined for flea infestation, including Results: Conclusion: Flea infestation patterns in northern Xinjiang are closely associated with host species identity and individual-level traits. The dominant role of
