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

Oropouche virus (OROV) emerged as a significant health threat in Central and South America in 2024. Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) is considered the primary vector, while the role of mosquitoes in the transmission cycle is still unclear. This study evaluates the vector competence of 5 mosquito species common in Europe for OROV (old strain). While Culex torrentium, Culex pipiens biotype pipiens, Aedes aegypti, and Aedes japonicus showed no transmission, Aedes albopictus demonstrated low transmission at higher temperatures. Temperature-based risk analysis for areas with established A albopictus populations suggests that regions around the Mediterranean are at potential risk for OROV transmission.
