Exploring the resting habits of invasive Aedes albopictus mosquitoes in Southern France.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Aedes albopictus, an invasive mosquito and vector of arboviruses such as dengue, chikungunya, and Zika, has rapidly expanded across mainland France. While its breeding and host-seeking behaviors are well studied, little is known about its adult resting habits in temperate urban environments. We conducted a field study in Murviel-lès-Montpellier, Southern France, using oviposition traps and aspiration from sentinel resting sites to assess adult mosquito dynamics. Between July and October 2023, 1293 capture sessions yielded 2237 adults and 172,014 eggs. We analyzed mosquito physiological status, vegetation structure (Plant Area Index), and microclimatic conditions. Resting site type, vegetation density, temperature, and humidity significantly influenced mosquito abundance and sex ratio. Underground cable chambers hosted mainly sexually immature adults, while sexually mature mosquitoes were more abundant in dense vegetation, especially cane of Provence thickets. Our results highlight how intrinsic (sex, physiological status) and extrinsic (microhabitat, weather) factors shape resting site selection, informing targeted vector surveillance and control in urban settings.
