Elimination of Ultraviolet Light-Mediated Attraction Behavior in

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
It is widely recognized that mosquitoes are attracted to ultraviolet (UV) light traps in field and semi-field trials. However, the specific characteristics of mosquito behavioral responses to UV light remain poorly defined. Moreover, the molecular mechanisms underlying their phototactic behavior remain unexplored. Here, we characterized mosquito photobehavior under UV light in a laboratory setting using three experimental apparatuses. Our findings indicate that mosquitoes exhibit strong attraction to low-intensity UV light, yet show no preference between high-intensity UV light and darkness. Video recordings and automatic analyses of photobehavior under low-intensity UV light revealed that mosquitoes preferred the window illuminated by UV light over an unilluminated window and were more active when exposed to UV light. Through RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated knockdown of opsins highly expressed in the adult stage of
