Knockdown times in a simple assay determination of insecticide resistance in malaria vectors.
Article in Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundDetermining the insecticide resistance status of malaria vectors, particularly to insecticides used on mosquito nets, is important but is limited to a relatively small number of locations. We describe a simple assay that enables this information to be obtained over a much wider area.
methodsThe time to knockdown of mosquitoes in an insecticide-treated netting-covered metal frame cage were recorded. The shape of the curve of the proportion of knocked down mosquitoes provides information on resistance status.
resultsResistant Anopheles funestus took significantly longer for knockdown than did susceptible Anopheles arabiensis.
conclusionsThis simple technique will enable a wide range of locations to be sampled, enhancing our understanding of the spread of resistance to pyrethroids.
