Ecological drivers of genetic connectivity for African malaria vectors Anopheles gambiae and An. arabiensis.

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
Anopheles gambiae and An. arabiensis are major malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa. Knowledge of how geographical factors drive the dispersal and gene flow of malaria vectors can help in combatting insecticide resistance spread and planning new vector control interventions. Here, we used a landscape genetics approach to investigate population relatedness and genetic connectivity of An. gambiae and An. arabiensis across Kenya and determined the changes in mosquito population genetic diversity after 20 years of intensive malaria control efforts. We found a significant reduction in genetic diversity in An. gambiae, but not in An. arabiensis as compared to prior to the 20-year period in western Kenya. Significant population structure among populations was found for both species. The most important ecological driver for dispersal and gene flow of An. gambiae and An. arabiensis was tree cover and cropland, respectively. These findings highlight that human induced environmental modifications may enhance genetic connectivity of malaria vectors.
