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 arthropod vectors, such as mosquitoes, sand flies, and ticks, transmit various pathogens to humans and animals, leading to public health issues. Therefore, an effective disease surveillance system is essential to provide information on these diseases in order to monitor their trends worldwide. The current study focused on the prevalence of arthropod-borne diseases and their vectors in North Khorasan Province located in northeastern Iran, bordering Turkmenistan. A narrative literature review was conducted to analyze the status of arthropod-related health threats (ARHTs) and their vectors in this area. Sources with no time limit up to 2025 were examined from PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science databases using keywords like vector, arthropod, North Khorasan, and Iran. After excluding duplicates and irrelevant content, a final list of 31 papers was thoroughly evaluated. This province exhibits the occurrence of several major ARHTs, including visceral leishmaniasis, cutaneous leishmaniasis, West Nile fever, chikungunya, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, Q fever,
