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

The taxonomy of ticks (order Ixodida) has changed significantly over the past few decades. Many species have been described, synonymized, invalidated, or reinstated. The genus-level classification of ticks in the families Argasidae, Ixodidae, and Nuttalliellidae has also been revised. Here, we list 1033 tick species recognized as valid, including 21 fossil species. These ticks are grouped into four families: Argasidae (17 genera, 221 species), Ixodidae (20 genera, 800 species), Khimairidae (one genus, one species), and Nuttalliellidae (three genera, 11 species). An updated classification of tick genera is also provided.
