Trapping Triatominae Bugs Using Mice-Baited Traps along the Peninsula of Baja California, Mexico.
Article in The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2024. 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
During an exploratory fieldtrip along the peninsula of Baja California, Mexico, we used mice-baited traps in search of Triatominae, the vectors of Chagas disease. A total of 433 traps were set in five localities following a latitude gradient along the peninsula. Triatominae were caught in rocky ecotopes in two localities. The specimens were identified as Paratriatoma hirsuta in the first locality, and Dipetalogaster maxima in the second, in accordance with the reported distributions of these species. The overall trap success was 3.1%, with an average of 1.3 bugs per positive trap. In the site with most bugs collected, trap success was 26.8%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that mice-baited traps have been used in this geographic area to collect Triatominae bugs. This short report confirms the usefulness of this trapping system when standardized protocols are needed.
