Error associated with estimates of Minimum Infection Rate for Endemic West Nile Virus in areas of low mosquito trap density.
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 8 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
West Nile Virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne infection that can cause serious illness in humans. Surveillance for WNV primarily focuses on a measure of infection prevalence in the Culex spp. mosquitos, its primary vectors, known as the Minimum Infection Rate (MIR). The calculation of MIR for a given area considers the number of mosquitos tested, but not the relative effort to collect mosquitos, leading to a potential underestimation of the uncertainty around the estimate. We performed Value of Information analysis on simulated data sets including a range of mosquito trap densities in two well-studied counties in Illinois between 2005 and 2016 to determine the relative error introduced into MIR associated with changing the density of mosquito traps. We found that low trap density increases the potential for error in MIR estimation, and that it does so synergistically with low true MIR values. We propose that these results could be used to better estimate uncertainty in WNV risk.
