Microbiome diversity in mosquitoes and sand flies: implications for vector competence.
Review in Parasites & vectors, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Mosquitoes and sand flies are the most important vectors of several human diseases. A comprehensive analysis of the diversity and composition of the microbiome in mosquitoes and sandflies is important. It emphasises shared traits and distinctive differences between these vector species. Recent findings have demonstrated that physiological, environmental and ecological factors influence the diversity of these microbial communities. A deeper understanding of the functional roles of specific microbial taxa, such as their ability to modulate host immune responses or directly interact with pathogens, reveals exciting opportunities for innovative vector management strategies. These strategies could leverage microbiome manipulation to disrupt the transmission of disease-causing agents. However, despite notable advancements, critical gaps remain in unravelling the precise mechanisms by which these microbiome compositions influence vector competence. Ultimately, this understanding can be leveraged to harness the potential of microbiome-based interventions in reducing the burden of vector-borne diseases. This review explores the intricate relationships between microbial communities and key vectors, highlighting how these interactions influence the dynamics of pathogen transmission.
