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

backgroundPersonal protection with topical skin repellents has been advocated for use against vector-borne diseases. This study compared the efficacies of a 20% IR3535

methodsMosquito biting densities were established at baseline and during the intervention using human landing collections (HLC). These were carried out overnight from 21:00-06:00 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Prior to the HLC, the exposed legs were treated with either a lotion of the 20% IR3535

resultsThe major malaria vector observed in the study area was An. gambiae sensu lato (s.l.) with high frequencies of kdr-west mutation in the population. The 20% IR3535
