Spatiotemporal variation in abundance and genetic structure in an urban-rural landscape: Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1894) (Diptera: Culicidae) in Wake County, NC.
Article in Journal of medical entomology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Since its invasion of the United States in the 1980s, Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1894) has become a major pest and a significant public health threat in the Southeastern United States. Despite its importance, we know little about its population genetics at fine spatial scales that correspond to the level of management units. To remedy this lack of information, we analyzed Ae. albopictus spatial variation in mosquito abundance and genetic structure in an urban-rural landscape over 2 years (2016 and 2018) in Wake County, NC, United States. We used a reduced representation sequencing method to generate between 1,100 and 30,000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms for population genetic analyses. We found spatial variation in both the abundance and genetic diversity, and significant differences in genetic divergence among sites that varied between the 2 years. The year-to-year variation in the population genetic patterns at the within-county scale suggests a dynamic system that requires extensive geographic, temporal, and genomic sampling to resolve.
