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

Background: Understanding mosquito larval ecology is essential for planning and implementations of vector control strategies. The biotic and abiotic factors affect larval occurrence , density, survival and morphogenesis of mosquitoes. Artificial containers are very suitable larval habitats for some species of Anopheles and Aedes mosquitoes in urban and peri-urban settings. Therefore, this study we identified, mapped and characterized larval habitats, estimated larval density and indices larval habitats. In addition, we determined the species composition of Methods: Larval habitats were surveyed and identified monthly for a period of 16 months from February 2023 to December 2024 in urban, peri-urban and rural areas of Dire Dawa. Mosquito larvae and pupae were collected and those larvae identified as Results: A total of 23, 526 larvae and 1,808 pupae of Conclusion:
