Resistance of mosquitoes to Lambda-Cyhalothrin and DDT in a Niger Delta Region of Nigeria.
Article in Tropical parasitology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The escalation of insecticide resistance across the World Health Organization (WHO) African region calls for the routine monitoring of insecticide resistance in mosquitoes. While pyrethroids are recommended for use and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) has been prescribed, it is imperative to reevaluate their efficacy across diverse geographical settings. The extent of resistance among mosquitoes to DDT and lambda-cyhalothrin remains understudied in Ika North East, Delta State, Nigeria, where the yellow fever virus was reported in 2019. Materials and Methods: We investigated the susceptibility of female mosquitoes to DDT (4%) and lambda-cyhalothrin (0.05%) in this specific study area. Adult female mosquitoes of Results: Conclusion: Our study underscores the potential of exercising caution in the use of DDT and lambda-cyhalothrin insecticides for the control of mosquitoes due to emerging resistance.
