The expansion of the yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) and evidence of its establishment in the Las Vegas metropolitan area, Nevada, United States of America.
Article in Journal of medical entomology, 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 aegypti (L.) is the primary vector of several arboviruses, including chikungunya, dengue, Zika, and yellow fever viruses. While models have predicted a low likelihood for establishment of Ae. aegypti in the arid climate of the Las Vegas Metropolitan (Statistical) Area, United States, surveillance indicates it is established. Since its initial detection in 2017, its distribution has spread over the Las Vegas metro area, which has low precipitation and hot summers. We mapped the spread of Ae. aegypti over 5 yr using adult catches. A total of 407 census tracts in metro Las Vegas were surveyed at least once for a total of 8,895 trap nights. In 2017, 5 of 117 (4%) surveyed census tracts were positive. By 2023, the number of positive census tracts increased to 147 of 276 (53%). Our study highlights the need for effective vector control measures and public health strategies to mitigate the growing risk of vector-borne diseases in Las Vegas and other urban areas experiencing similar introductions of Ae. aegypti.
