Environmental variables influencing tick anaphylaxis presentations: An observational study.
Article in Asia Pacific allergy, 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
Background: Objective: This study aimed to correlate environmental variables with TA presentations in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, to predict tick seasons and forewarn residents of tick-endemic regions. Methods: Monthly temperature, rainfall, dewpoint, and fire extent data were collected from open-access government resources for Northern and Southern Coastal NSW, and Greater Sydney regions. These were compared with tick bite locations and dates from 278 TA patients from 2005 to 2022, using Pearson's correlation. Results: In Greater Sydney, TA cases were weakly correlated with rainfall (r = -0.15), temperature (r = 0.26), and dewpoint (9 am: r = -0.22; 3 pm: r = -0.22), and a strong negative correlation with percentage area burned (r = -0.94). Northern and Southern coastal NSW TA cases exhibited similarly weak correlations with rainfall, temperature, dewpoint, and percentage area burned. Conclusion: Larger bushfires may reduce TA presentations through tick habitat destruction. However, the role of weather variables remains inconclusive, highlighting the need for further research to better understand tick ecosystems, which may aid public health initiatives for tick awareness.
