Modeling Culicoides paraensis distribution and implications for Oropouche virus transmission in Brazil.
Article in Parasites & vectors, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Oropouche virus (OROV) is mainly transmitted to humans by Culicoides paraensis, a biting midge widely distributed across the Americas. In this study, we modeled the potential distribution of C. paraensis in Brazil using environmental variables and found that temperature-related factors, particularly minimum temperature and annual temperature range, were the strongest predictors of its occurrence. Comparison of the predicted distribution with confirmed autochthonous OROV cases revealed several areas of mismatch, suggesting either underreporting of C. paraensis or the involvement of additional vector species in transmission. These findings highlight the need to integrate C. paraensis into Brazil's arbovirus surveillance systems and to strengthen entomological monitoring with the support of remote sensing, climate data, and ecological research to better anticipate and mitigate future transmission risks.
