First report of Aedes albopictus in Saint Barthélemy (French West Indies) confirmed by morphological, molecular and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry approaches.
Article in Parasites & vectors, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Aedes albopictus is a mosquito vector of arboviruses that is native to southeast Asia. However, this invasive species has spread worldwide. It arrived in the Caribbean in 1993, but had never been recorded in the French Territories of the Americas. We report here the first detection of Aedes albopictus in Saint Barthélemy, Guadeloupe confirmed by morphological criteria, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), and cytochrome c oxidase 1 (cox1) gene barcoding. The presence of this invasive mosquito species in Saint Barthélemy, an island with daily aerial or maritime connections to the French Departments of the Americas, raises concerns about the risk of its introduction into these territories, as well as into other Caribbean countries. It also emphasizes the urgent need to locally reinforce vector surveillance and control measures to prevent the further spread of this mosquito vector.
