First molecular evidence and phylogenetic characterization of Aedes (Hulecoeteomyia) koreicus (Diptera: Culicidae) in Slovakia.
Article in Parasitology research, 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
The invasive mosquito Aedes (Hulecoeteomyia) koreicus (Edwards, 1917), originally native to East Asia, has recently established populations across several European countries. This study provides the first molecular confirmation of Ae. koreicus in Slovakia. Adult females were collected during nationwide mosquito surveillance conducted between June and October 2024. Morphological identification was confirmed by sequencing a fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Slovak Ae. koreicus sequences clustered with reference sequences from Italy, Hungary, Belgium, and Germany. BLAST analysis showed 98.4–100% nucleotide identity with European Ae. koreicus isolates. Two principal genetic clusters were detected—one related to Hungarian isolates and another to Italian isolates, suggesting multiple introduction pathways or regional spread from established populations in Central Europe. These findings confirm the ongoing expansion of Ae. koreicus in Central Europe.
