A survey of indoor and outdoor Anopheles density, species composition and circumsporozoite rate of malaria vectors on the Bijagós Archipelago, Guinea-Bissau.

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
backgroundThe malaria-endemic Bijagós Archipelago is situated 50 km off the coast of mainland Guinea-Bissau. It is a seasonal malaria transmission setting, with insecticide-treated bed nets as its primary control strategy. Little is known about the vector diversity and behaviour across the Archipelago.
methodsIn 2019, a survey took place on 16 of the inhabited islands across the Archipelago. Adult mosquitoes were collected using odour-baited outdoor light traps and indoor light traps at houses selected at random. Larval surveys were conducted for each village sampled. Anopheles adults caught were morphologically identified and a sub-sample was analysed to identify species within the Anopheles gambiae complex using RFLP-PCR. Sporozoite positivity was detected within a sub-sample by CSP-ELISA.
resultsAnopheles gambiae sensu lato was present on all islands sampled. Anopheles density varied between islands, with densities ranging from 0.0 to 98.7 per trapping night from indoor traps and 0.1-165.2 per trapping night from outdoor traps. Anopheles melas was the most commonly observed species, accounting for 85.2% of all Anopheles caught from both indoor and outdoor light traps. A high level of hybridization between An. gambiae sensu stricto and Anopheles coluzzii was seen on some islands across the Archipelago. The overall sporozoite rate was 0.86% (0.2% for indoor traps; 1.4% for outdoor traps).
conclusionsSpecies within An. gambiae s.l. are the primary vectors on the Bijagós. Anopheles melas may contribute to transmission throughout the year in the Bijagós. The vector species composition, abundance and infection rates uncovered in this study are useful for informing tailored, effective vector control programme in the Bijagos.
