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

During 2022-2024, fresh carcasses of 35 wild animals from Goiás state and the Federal District, both in central Brazil, were sent to the veterinary pathology service of the University of Brasília. The carcasses were examined for the presence of ticks, which were collected and sent to the laboratory for taxonomic identification. A total of 541 tick specimens were collected from the following host species: birds - Aramides cajaneus and Cariama cristata; mammals - Coendou prehensilis, Didelphis albiventris, Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, Myrmecophaga tridactyla, Sapajus libidinosus, Subulo gouazoubira and Tapirus terrestris. Nine tick species were identified: Amblyomma brasiliense, Amblyomma dubitatum, Amblyomma longirostre, Amblyomma nodosum, Amblyomma ovale, Amblyomma sculptum, Amblyomma triste, Ixodes loricatus, Rhipicephalus microplus. We report here, for the first time, nymphs of A. dubitatum on A. cajaneus and T. terrestris; as well as the first record of A. brasiliense in the Central-Western region of Brazil. Molecular analyses revealed the presence of the human pathogen Rickettsia parkeri strain Atlantic rainforest in A. ovale, and the following agents of unknown pathogenicity: Rickettsia amblyommatis in A. longirostre; Rickettsia bellii in A. longirostre, A. nodosum and I. loricatus; Rickettsia sp. strain COOPERI in A. nodosum, and 'Candidatus Allocryptoplasma sp.' in A. nodosum.
