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

Eastern equine encephalomyelitis virus (EEEV) is endemic in Michigan, showing an upsurge in human cases and in infections of white-tailed deer, horses, and other animals in the past decade (2010-2020). However, blood-host associations of the enzootic mosquito vector Culiseta melanura in the Great Lakes region are poorly known compared with other better-studied regions. Vertebrate sources of blood meals of Cs. melanura collected from resting boxes were determined through sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome B gene generated from polymerase chain reaction. Thirty-six unique avian species were detected in the samples, and 42% of the blood meals originated from only two species (American robin and northern cardinal). This result shows that although the Cs. melanura population investigated here used a wide range of avian hosts, American robin and northern cardinal are the main hosts in southwestern Michigan.
