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

Anopheles mosquitoes are the sole vectors of malaria. Although adult females are directly responsible for disease transmission and accordingly have been extensively studied, the survival of pre-adult larval stages is vital. Mosquito larvae utilize a spectrum of chemosensory and other cues to navigate their aquatic habitats to avoid predators and search for food. Here we examine larval olfactory responses, in which the peripheral components are associated with the antennal sensory cone. Larval behavior and sensory cone responses to volatile stimuli in Anopheles coluzzii demonstrate the sensory cone is particularly tuned to alcohols, thiazoles, and heterocyclics, and these responses can be assigned to discrete groups of sensory cone neurons with distinctive profiles. These studies reveal that the anopheline larvae actively sample volatile odors above their aquatic habitats via a highly sophisticated olfactory system that is sensitive to a broad range of compounds with significant behavioral relevance.
