Arbovirus persistence in North-Western Europe: Are mosquitoes the only overwintering pathway?
Article in One health (Amsterdam, Netherlands), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
In some areas in temperate Europe, genomic analyses of mosquito-borne virus outbreaks have revealed the presence of similar virus strains over several years, indicating local overwintering of these viruses. However, it remains unclear how mosquito-borne viruses can persist in winter, when conditions are generally unfavourable for virus circulation. One of the presumed routes of virus persistence is via diapausing mosquitoes. Here, we set out to study whether arbovirus persistence of West Nile virus (WNV), Usutu virus (USUV) and Sindbis virus (SINV) occurs in diapausing mosquitoes in the Netherlands. To this end, mosquito collections were carried out in the winter of 2020 and 2021, in hibernacula located in two areas with previously observed WNV and/or USUV activity. In total, we collected 4200 mosquitoes belonging to four species (
