Tannic acid shaped microbiome composition in midguts and rearing microcosms of
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: Tannic acid (TA), a polyphenol derived from plants, often accumulates in water-holding containers where mosquitoes develop. Yet, its effects on mosquito gut microbiota remain poorly understood, representing an important knowledge gap. Because mosquito-associated microbiota are vital for host development, nutrition, and immunity, uncovering how TA shapes these microbial communities may yield new insights into mosquito biology and vector control strategies. Methods: In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of bacterial communities in Results: Addition of TA at 0.35 mg/mL caused up to 50% larval Conclusion: Our findings highlight how TA shapes mosquito microbiota and habitat quality, offering potential avenues to manipulate microbial communities as a biocontrol strategy for mosquito larvae.
