1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Throughout history, human societies have been greatly affected by mosquitoes and mosquito-borne pathogens such as malaria and yellow fever. On the other hand there have also been reciprocal effects as mosquito populations have been impacted by major societal changes such as agricultural intensification, urbanisation and international trade and travel, causing ever shifting patterns of disease exposure and epidemics. In contrast to continental Europe, mosquito-borne pathogens have not been a major concern in Ireland for many decades. However, the emergence of new invasive mosquito species and the changing epidemiology of mosquito-transmitted diseases in Europe calls for a re-evaluation of the species that occur here. This review provides an overview of the biology of mosquitoes, the species that occur in Ireland and exotic species that are currently expanding their geographical range in Europe. The most important pathogens transmitted by mosquitoes and their current status in Europe and Ireland are also discussed.
