Relapsing fever revisited: New insights into neglected borrelial infections.
Review in PLoS neglected tropical diseases, 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
Why revisit our understanding of relapsing fever and their causative spirochaetes? We have seen many existing paradigms of relapsing fever borreliosis challenged over recent years, largely facilitated through technological molecular biological improvements. Concepts that were believed for many years are now being questioned; from the origins of B. recurrentis, the epidemic form of relapsing fever, through to the one-tick-one Borrelia model. Furthermore, the description of relapsing fever borreliae such as B. miyamotoi transmitted by hard tick species and increasing reports of new borrelial species have prompted a re-evaluation of existing knowledge. Within this narrative review, we overview existing knowledge of relapsing fever ecology, epidemiology, diagnostics, disease and prevention, and explore several research gaps worthy of further research.
