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

A major lack of expertise in vector biology, surveillance, and control for public health professionals has been acknowledged over the past several decades, especially in light of the introduction of West Nile and Zika viruses to the United States. To address this growing need, the Northeast Regional Center for Excellence in Vector-Borne Diseases (NEVBD) designed a unique educational program to cross-train students in the fundamentals of vector biology and public health. Here, we summarize the formation, evaluation, and outcomes of NEVBD's Master of Science in Entomology: Vector-Borne Disease Biology program and provide details on core competencies to enable adoption and adaptation of the program to other institutions and contexts. A discussion of major barriers to filling the nation's need for public health personnel with medical entomology training, such as financial barriers and recruitment of underrepresented students, is presented. We conclude with considerations for administering these training programs.
