Effects of oil-film layer and surfactant on the siphonal respiration and survivorship in the fourth instar larvae of Aedes togoi mosquito in laboratory conditions.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Mosquitoes transmit various diseases; thus, controlling them is necessary to prevent mosquito-borne infections. Unlike flying adult mosquitoes, those in the immature stages are easy to control because of being restricted to their habitats found in an aquatic environment. In this study, we aimed to evaluate of respiration and survivorship in the larvae of Aedes togoi. The mechanism of actions of the oil-film layer and the surfactant as well as their effects on the siphonal respiration of submerged Aedes togoi larvae were analyzed by checking the survival time of mosquito larvae against oil-film layer and surfactant, and conducting experiments using a siphon-model. Compared with an impermeable membrane used for reference (762.4 min; average time in all cases), the survival time of mosquito larvae was 5% longer for the oil-film layer (808.1 min) and 40% longer for the surfactant (1086.9 min). The surface of the siphon was changed from hydrophobic to hydrophilic by addition of a surfactant. In addition, the surface tension and wettability have a significant influence on the opening and closing of siphon. This study would be helpful for understanding the basic mechanism of physical control measures for disturbing the siphonal respiration of mosquito larvae in a way of dissolved oxygen and surface tension. The present results would guide the establishment of effective control measures for mosquitoes.
