Tick-small mammal relationships in urban and forest environments in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan: First confirmation of the establishment of southern tick species in northern Japan.

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
Small mammals are prominent hosts for ticks that transmit various infectious diseases to humans and other animals. Despite the widespread presence of ticks and small mammals worldwide and the fact that climate change is a global phenomenon, tick-small mammal relationships and the potential expansion of southern tick species have been investigated only in limited regions. To understand the global risk of tick-borne diseases, examining tick-small mammal relationships in northern regions is essential. In Japan, several tick-borne diseases have emerged, and multiple studies have reported adult and nymphal stages of southern tick species in northern areas. However, whether these species have successfully established in the north can be determined only through the detection of larval stages. Therefore, we examined tick infestation in small mammals captured from forest and urban environments in Yamagata Prefecture, northern Japan. A total of 55 individuals representing seven species were captured across the forest and urban environments. The predominant small mammal in both environments was the large Japanese wood mouse (
