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

Despite the rising global incidence of vector-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika, existing vector control strategies remain inadequate for completely eliminating vectors from their breeding sites. This study aimed to encapsulate larvicide-producing bacteria in nanofibers designed to shield bacterial cells from environmental stress-mimicking natural biofilms-thereby enhancing their survival in aquatic habitats and prolonging larvicide production. During the initial screening, Pseudomonas aeruginosa proved to be more effective than the other two tested species, P. fluorescens and P. putida, in producing potent larvicides and was therefore selected for nanofiber encapsulation studies. Our findings demonstrate that nanofiber encapsulation can be a viable strategy for controlling mosquito larvae in breeding habitats over an extended period without harming non-target organisms.
