Juvenile hormone controls ovarian development in female Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Anophelinae mosquitoes are vectors of human malaria, a disease that infects hundreds of millions of people and causes almost 600,000 fatalities annually. Despite their medical importance, laboratory studies on key aspects of Anophelinae reproductive biology have been limited, and in particular, relatively little is known about the role of juvenile hormone (JH) in the control of female reproduction. The study presented here attempts to fill a gap of knowledge in our understanding of the JH control of ovarian development in female Anophelinae mosquitoes, using Anopheles albimanus as a model. Our studies revealed that JH controls the tempo of maturation of primary follicles in An. albimanus in a similar manner to that previously described in Aedes aegypti. At adult eclosion JH hemolymph titer was low, increased in 1-day old sugar-fed insects, and decreased in blood fed individuals. JH titers decreased if An. albimanus females were starved, and were reduced if insects emerged with low teneral reserves, precluding previtellogenic ovarian development. However, absolute hemolymph titers were lower than Ae. aegypti. Decapitation experiments suggested that if teneral reserves are sufficient, factors from the head activate JH synthesis by the corpora allata (CA) during the first 9-12 h after adult emergence. In conclusion, our studies support the hypothesis that JH controls previtellogenic ovarian development in female An. albimanus mosquitoes, in a similar manner that have been described in Culicinae.
