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

Ticks are haematophagous ectoparasites and vectors of a diverse range of pathogens, exerting substantial impacts on wildlife, domestic animals and public health. In Australia, despite the country's rich and unique biodiversity, a comprehensive understanding of ticks and tick-borne pathogens associated with wildlife remains limited. Environmental change, urban expansion and climate variability are increasingly disrupting wildlife habitats, potentially intensifying interactions between wildlife hosts, ticks and humans. A broad evidence synthesis of studies published between January 1940 and March 2024 was conducted, retrieving 133 eligible records from Web of Science, CABI Abstracts and PubMed databases. Fifty tick species parasitising 160 wildlife species were identified, predominantly from the genera
