Ocurrence of Nyssomyia intermedia (Diptera: Psychodidae) in intradomiciliary environments: a potential vector of american cutaneous leishmaniasis in Montezuma, 2024.

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
objectiveTo investigate the Phlebotominae fauna in the rural area of Montezuma, Minas Gerais, following the confirmation of a human case of American cutaneous leishmaniasis, in collaboration with the Regional Health Superintendent's Office of Montes Claros.
methodsThe captures were carried out with CDC-type light traps (developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC), which were placed in the intradomiciliary area (bedroom 1 and bedroom 2) and the peridomestic area (chicken coop) during two consecutive nights.
resultsIn total, 30 phlebotomine sand flies were captured and identified, with 29 (96.67%) belonging to the species Nyssomyia intermedia and 1 (3.33%) belonging to the species Psathyromyia pascalei. Surprisingly, all specimens of Nyssomyia intermedia were captured in the intradomiciliary area, specifically in the patient's bedroom, with confirmed American cutaneous leishmaniasis infection.
conclusionDue to the large number of specimens captured inside the residence, Nyssomyia intermedia stands out as a potential intradomiciliary vector of American cutaneous leishmaniasis. In addition, we reinforce the importance of studies such as this one, conducted in collaboration between the Brazilian National Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde, SUS) and the Collaborating Centers of Minas Gerais, to strengthen surveillance actions, promote preventive measures, and expand knowledge about the ecoepidemiology of the disease in areas still little studied.
