Effects of cumulative temperature and precipitation patterns on mosquito abundance in urban Seoul, South Korea.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 pose serious public health risks, especially in densely populated cities. Although mosquito populations are closely linked to meteorological factors, the cumulative effects of these factors remain understudied from an ecological perspective. This study investigates mosquito population patterns in relation to cumulative meteorological factors, analyzing daily data collected nightly (18:00-07:00) from May to October in 2012, 2013, and 2015 at 21 monitoring sites across different urban habitats in Seoul, South Korea. Results revealed that cumulative temperature and precipitation significantly influence mosquito populations, with marked differences observed between waterside and non-waterside habitats. Mosquito populations in waterside areas were more sensitive to temperature fluctuations and the number of days with precipitation compared with those in non-waterside areas. Although higher minimum temperatures increased mosquito abundance, extreme variations led to declines. Cumulative precipitation generally had a negative impact on mosquito populations, whereas low precipitation showed a positive correlation. Notably, the number of days with precipitation was more influential than cumulative precipitation. These findings emphasize the importance of habitat types and cumulative meteorological factors in shaping urban mosquito populations, offering insights for future research and control measures.
