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

Anopheles jamesii, considered to be a non-malaria vector, is an abundant mosquito species found in coastal India and several countries in Asia. In Goa, western India, An. jamesii is the dominant anopheline species by numbers, and in recent epidemiological surveys, they have tested positive for Plasmodium carriage. To assess An. jamesii's capacity as a malaria vector, we carried out six controlled membrane feeding assays with the F1 generation of field-caught An. jamesii and Plasmodium vivax-infected patient blood samples. As a control, the established local vector, Anopheles stephensi, was fed in parallel to compare the oocyst and sporozoite loads. The average oocyst load of An. jamesii was 3.29, while for An. stephensi it was 10.23. Furthermore, An. jamesii's blood feeding rate (21.7% versus 85%), oocyst positivity rate (60% versus 90.6%), and sporozoite positivity (45.16% versus 83%) were significantly lower (P <0.05, unpaired t test) than those of An. stephensi, suggesting a recent adaptation to support Plasmodium sporogony.
