First Report of Gynandromorphism in Rhipicephalus microplus (Acari: Ixodidae) in El Salvador.
Article in Acta parasitologica, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeGynandromorphism is a developmental anomaly characterized by the simultaneous presence of male and female sexual morphological traits within the same individual. This study documents a case of gynandromorphism in the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus(Canestrini 1888) in El Salvador.
methodsThe specimen was collected from a bovine belonging to the Experimental and Practical Station of the Faculty of Agronomic Sciences of the University of El Salvador, located in the municipality of San Luis Talpa, Department of La Paz.
resultsThe reported gynandromorph of R. microplus exhibits bilateral gynandromorphism, displaying primarily female characteristics on the left side and male characteristics on the right.
conclusionThis is the first report of a tick with gynandromorphism in El Salvador. Further studies are warranted to understand the implications of such anomalies and their veterinary and public health relevance.
