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

Leishmaniasis, a vector-borne disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania, is transmitted by the bite of infected female Phlebotomine sand flies. Recent advances highlight the role of Phlebotominae gut microbiota in shaping vector competence and influencing Leishmania development. This review synthesises current knowledge on the diversity and dynamics of sand fly gut microbiota, its modulation by environmental factors and diet, and its interaction with Leishmania parasites. Special focus is placed on the immune and metabolic crosstalk between microbes and both the vector and host, including the role of bacterial components in modulating disease severity. The review also discusses the emerging potential of microbiota-based vector control strategies, particularly paratransgenesis using symbionts such as Wolbachia and Bacillus subtilis and outlines future directions for microbiota-based interventions in sand fly research.
