Infection rate of Ixodes ricinus ticks with Borrelia afzelii, Borrelia garinii, and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto in Slovenia.

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
In spring 1993, Ixodes ricinus ticks were collected from six regions of Slovenia to determine their overall rate of infection with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and to assess the frequency of individual species in these tick populations. Ticks were dissected and midgut tissue inoculated into modified Barbour-Stoenner-Kelly (BSK II) medium. Borrelia isolates were differentiated into separate species using species-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers and by large restriction fragment pattern (LRFP) analysis. Infected ticks were found in all six regions surveyed. Spirochaetes were isolated from 69 of 363 ticks (19%): the isolation rate from adult female ticks was 35% (23/66 ticks cultured), from adult male ticks 22% (20/91), and from nymphal ticks 13% (26/206). Determination of the species of 60 isolates revealed that 32 were Borrelia afzelii (53%), 20 were Borrelia garinii (33%), and 8 were Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (13%). In the Ljubljana region Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii predominated (43% and 40%, respectively), whereas Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto constituted only 17% of isolates. In three other regions of the country Borrelia afzelii was isolated exclusively, although the number of isolates investigated was small. This study demonstrates the presence of all three European species of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato within the Slovenian tick population and also within a geographic area of less than 100 m2.
