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

Background and justification: The Republic of Djibouti is located in the Horn of Africa, on the Gulf of Aden and the Bab-el-Mandeb detroit, at the southern entrance to the Red Sea. Prior to its independence in 1977, the Republic of Djibouti was known by two names: "Côte française des Somalis" until 1967, then "Territoire Français de Afars et Issas". As part of our doctoral research on the ecology of mosquitoes in Djibouti, we noted a lack of information on the species encountered, and felt it essential to draw up a list of species before embarking on ecological monitoring. The aim of this work is to survey publications on mosquitoes in Djibouti and to synthesize data from this scientific literature in order to update the national inventory of Culicidae. Materials and methods: An exhaustive search of electronic bibliographic databases (PubMed, Scopus, HAL Open Archive, Science Direct and Google Scholar) was carried out. Reference lists were filtered to access additional articles in order to obtain more data. Two keywords were used: "Djibouti" and "French Territory of Afars and Issas". A selection of scientific publications on Djibouti mosquitoes and/or diseases transmitted by mosquito vectors was made. Researches were conducted in articles selected. The names of the species listed were checked and validated by referring to the site Mosquito Taxonomic Inventory. Results: A total of 13 studies, published between 1970 and 2023, were found. Over the years, the composition of the Culicidae fauna has become well known. In part, the movement of people traveling to and from neighboring countries has been linked to the detection of new species and the reappearance of mosquito species in Djibouti. Numerous studies have been carried out over the years, including purely taxonomic studies and others focusing on the incrimination of mosquito vectors and the characterization of the pathogens they transmit. A total of 37 species, belonging to two subfamilies (Anophelinae and Culicinae), of mosquitoes divided between 7 genera Discussion - Conclusion: The bibliographical research enabled us to summarize the research carried out over more than half a century in the history of Djibouti, and to update the inventory of the country's mosquitoes, which now includes 37 species. Species names were reviewed and updated, and the case of
