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

Amblyomma spp. (Acari, Ixodidae) serve as primary vectors for numerous pathogens affecting humans and animals. Unlike other arthropods, ixodid ticks exhibit notably less susceptibility to entomopathogenic fungi, which are widely used as biological control agents. This study aimed to determine whether the dynamics of the cellular immune response to fungal infection differ between Amblyomma sculptum and Amblyomma americanum. Engorged female ticks were treated with conidial suspensions of Metarhizium robertsii ARSEF 2575 or Beauveria bassiana ARSEF 9588. For the survival assay, ticks were immersed in suspensions of 5 × 10
