Nightly Biting Cycles of Anopheles Species in Rural Northwestern Burkina Faso.
Article in Journal of medical entomology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 biting behavior of anophelines is an important determinant of malaria transmission. Understanding the local vector host-seeking behavior, its outdoor/ indoor biting preference, and nocturnal biting periods is essential for effectively applying and improving vector control methods, such as Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) and personal protective measures. To better understand the biting and host-seeking patterns of Anopheles mosquitoes in Northwestern Burkina Faso, we performed biweekly Human Landing Catches (HLC) in six villages during the period of highest mosquito abundance and malaria transmission. We applied a negative binomial regression framework to statistically analyze the host-seeking activities of Anopheles species and test for differences across hours, months, and villages, as well as for differences between indoor and outdoor capture points. Anopheles gambiae s.l. was identified as the main malaria vector in this region, representing about 90% of the total anopheline population. Biting activity was significantly different across hours and showed a peaked plateau between 2000 and 0200 hours. Differences in the pattern of biting cycles were observed between the early and late rainy season. This study shows that anopheline biting activity in Northwest Burkina Faso is high throughout the night, at indoor and outdoor posts alike. Consequently, bed nets alone may not provide sufficient protection against early biting anophelines and should be complemented with additional strategies such as indoor residual spraying (IRS) and larval source management (LSM) to meet the WHO's ambitious goals that are reflected in the global technical malaria strategy for 2030.
