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
Ixodes (Afrixodes) attenboroughi n. sp. (Acari: Ixodidae) is described based on females ex the southern African vlei rat, Otomys irroratus (Brants) and xeric four-striped grass rat, Rhabdomys pumilio (Sparrman) (Rodentia: Muridae) from Zimbabwe. Females of this new species morphologically similar to those of I. calcarhebes Arthur & Zulu, 1980 and I. hoogstraali Arthur, 1955 and can be distinguished from them by the size of scutum and spiracular plates, distinctness of scutal punctations and porose areas, shape of hypostome, development of spurs on coxae and trochanters, size of syncoxae and overall size.
