Impact of human mobility and weather conditions on Dengue mosquito abundance during the COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong.

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: While Objectives: We aimed to assess the influence of human mobility on the abundance and extensiveness of Methods: Google human mobility indices (including residential, parks, and workplaces) and weather conditions (total rainfall and mean temperature) along with Results: Time spent at home (i.e., residential mobility) was negatively associated with mosquito abundance. The model projected that if residential mobility in 2022 was returned to the pre-pandemic level, the mosquito abundance would increase by an average of 80.49 % compared to actual observation. The relative risk (RR) of mosquito abundance was associated with low rainfall (<50 mm) after 4.5 months, peaking at 1.73, compared with 300 mm. Heavy rainfall (>500 mm) within 3 months was also associated with a peak RR of 1.41. Warm conditions (21-30 °C, compared with 20 °C) were associated with a higher RR of 1.47 after half a month. Discussion: Human mobility is a critical factor along with weather conditions in mosquito prediction, and a stay-at-home policy may be an effective intervention to control
