Coexistence and food sources of adult mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in a rural health center in Piura, Peru 2024.
Article in Revista peruana de medicina experimental y salud publica, 2024. 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
backgroundMotivation for the study. Rural health facilities could be potential foci of transmission and scenarios of zoonosis during epidemic outbreaks of dengue and other arbovirosis due to the coexistence of mosquito species that feed on different vertebrates.
backgroundMain findings. Aedes aegypti feeds on Homo sapiens sapiens. Culex quinquefasciatus feeds on Homo sapiens sapiens and Canis familiaris. Both coexist in health care areas of the Querecotillo health center.
backgroundImplications. Molecular techniques should be integrated into vector control to understand feeding patterns in natural conditions and information on probable reservoirs.
backgroundThis study aimed to determine the coexistence and food sources of adult mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in a rural health center in Piura, Peru by using a descriptive cross-sectional design. Entomological techniques were used to capture and identify mosquitoes, and molecular biotechnology techniques were used to identify food sources. A total of 793 specimens of the Culex and Aedes genera were found coexisting, 789 (99.5%) were Culex quinquefasciatus, 607 (76.9%) were males and 182 (23.1%) were females. Likewise, 4 (100%) corresponded to Aedes aegypti females. The food sources of Aedes aegypti were Homo sapiens sapiens, and Homo sapiens sapiens and Canis familiaris were the food sources of Culex quinquefasciatus. This study provides evidence that rural health centers could be acting as foci of arbovirosis, with the risk that people who come for different ailments could contract diseases transmitted by C. quinquefasciatus and A. aegypti.
