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

An almost periodic Ross-Macdonald model with age structure for the vector population in a patchy environment is considered. The basic reproduction ratio [Formula: see text] for this model is derived and a threshold-type result on its global dynamics in terms of [Formula: see text] is established. It is shown that the disease is uniformly persistent if [Formula: see text], while the disease will die out if [Formula: see text]. Numerical simulations show that the biting rate greatly affects the disease transmission, and human migration sometimes could reduce the transmission risk. We further obtain a condition numerically to determine whether a control strategy on migration is necessary. Moreover, numerical results indicate that prolonging the length of maturation period of vector is beneficial to the disease control, and the threshold length of the maturation period for disease outbreak can be computed. Finally, the comparison between the almost periodic and periodic models shows that the periodic model may overestimate or underestimate the disease transmission risk.
