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

Climate change has significantly altered the dynamics of vector-borne infectious diseases, favoring their proliferation and geographic expansion. Factors such as rising temperatures, the frequency of extreme weather events, and uncontrolled urbanization have increased the incidence of diseases such as dengue, Zika, chikungunya, malaria, and Lyme disease, especially in vulnerable regions with limited infrastructure. This article presents a narrative review based on recent scientific literature (2018-2025) to assess the impact of climate change on vector distribution, co-infections, and control strategies. The evidence collected highlights how changing climate conditions, combined with socioeconomic, political, and demographic factors, exacerbate public health crises and complicate mitigation efforts. It is concluded that facing this challenge requires a comprehensive strategy that combines environmental management, technological innovation, epidemiological surveillance, and community educational programs, promoting a coordinated global response to reduce the associated risks.
