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

The floodwater mosquito Aedes caspius is a competent vector of several human pathogens and has a global distribution across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. This study aimed to investigate the genetic diversity and population genetic structure of Ae. caspius from Iran. Aedes caspius mosquitoes were collected from Iran, and genetic diversity was assessed using the mitochondrial DNA-encoded cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (mtDNA-COI) gene. BLAST analysis confirmed the morphological identification of all specimens as Ae. caspius, with 100% similarity to GenBank sequences. Haplotype diversity (Hd) and haplotype diversity variance of the Ae. caspius mosquitoes based on the COI gene were found to be 0.954 and 0.00006, respectively. Nucleotide diversity (Pi) of the Ae. caspius sequences based on the COI gene was calculated to be 0.01495, with 56 segregation sites identified. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated high genetic diversity in Iranian Ae. caspius populations, suggesting its long-standing establishment in Iran and indicating its native status. The origin of this population in Iran may be linked to populations from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Pakistan, China, and Europe. Further studies should explore the genetic variability of Ae. caspius in various countries and continents.
