Effect of an ecosystem-centered community participation programme on the incidence of dengue. A field randomized, controlled trial.
Trial report in International journal of public health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesThe purpose of this study is to analyse the effect of a community participation programme based on the ecosystem model on the incidence of dengue in urban communities.
methodsA randomized controlled field trial was conducted in the state of Colima, Mexico. The intervention consisted of a community participation programme focused on the ecosystem; simultaneously, the control groups were communities that only received the usual official prevention programs. The incidence of dengue was estimated in people of both groups due to the appearance of de novo IgM antibodies during the follow-up period.
resultsThe incidence of dengue in the intervened group was 2.58%/month (n = 818) and in control group 2.26%/month (n = 994), with a risk ratio of 1.14 (95% CI 0.89-1.45) and a PAF of 0.06 (95% CI - 0.056 to 0.16). The A. aegypti larval density (Breteau Index) was reduced in the treated group.
conclusionsThe implementation of a community participation programme in the cities of Colima, Mexico, showed a slightly counterproductive effect on the incidence of dengue. This happened even with a reduction in the A. aegypti index.
