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

In recent decades, mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs) such as Zika, chikungunya, malaria, and dengue have spread to more urban areas previously free of such diseases. Globalization has increased the infection potential for diseases and their vectors, placing tropical tourist destinations, such as Hawai'i, at risk for MBD epidemics. A cross-sectional study was conducted on the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa campus to assess potential mosquito breeding sites. The campus was stratified by land use designation and randomly sampled. Residential areas had the highest potential for breeding sites with high numbers of discarded plastic food and beverage containers. Recommended prevention strategies to curb littering in the residential area include awareness campaigns and encouraging collaboration between maintenance authorities to enhance oversight. This study highlights the importance of individual awareness and prevention of environment modifications that could contribute to the development of mosquito breeding sites.
