Recognition of mosquito subspecies: the case for Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae).
Review in Journal of medical entomology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We address the recent proposal by Harbach and Wilkerson to eliminate all Culicidae (mosquito) subspecies names. We defend and promote the use of subspecies for the important vector Aedes aegypti (L.): Aedes aegypti aegypti and Ades aegypti formosus. Harbach and Wilkerson would raise the latter to Aedes formosus. We briefly review evidence on this group with relation to various species concepts and find little or no support for this species designation. The 2 forms fit most concepts of subspecies and we advocate continued use of subspecies. Workers on other culicid groups may wish to retain subspecies when accurate, useful, and stable (historical continuity).
