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
backgroundThis study investigates the efficiency of entomological surveillance programs in East Azerbaijan Province, focusing on Points of Entry (PoEs) along the Aras River, for the early detection of invasive Aedes. Given the increasing risk of dengue fever due to the presence of Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti in neighboring regions, the research aims to assess the distribution of these mosquitoes and other potential vectors.
methodsA longitudinal study was conducted from April 2021 to August 2024 in high-risk regions of East Azerbaijan, northwestern Iran. Data collection involved biweekly surveillance at PoEs using ovitraps, larval surveys, and human-baited traps, with evaluations were expanded in July and August 2024 to address increased transportation activity at strategic locations outside the established surveillance program. Data were analyzed to identify population patterns and enhance understanding of mosquito dynamics in the region.
resultsDuring a four-year entomological surveillance study, 22,553 mosquito specimens (Family: Culicidae) were collected, with 79% (N = 17,803) from PoEs and the remaining (N = 4,750) belonged to other areas. In PoEs, five species were identified and Culex pipiens was the predominant species (89%). Mosquito populations showed significant variation in abundance, peaking in July and August. In non-PoE locations, 14 species were collected during the study period, including the first detection of Ae. albopictus in East Azerbaijan Province. DISCUSSION AND
conclusionThis study highlights the critical role of mosquito surveillance in detecting and managing invasive species. The dominance of Cx. pipiens and the presence of Ae. albopictus raise concerns about the transmission of arboviruses in the region. Therefore, effective measures for monitoring and controlling mosquito populations are crucial for preventing disease outbreaks in the region.
