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

backgroundAedes aegypti chemical control remains the major strategy to prevent dengue, Zika, and Chikungunya outbreaks. The Cuba archipelago organizes a constant surveillance in its entire territory to follow up the distribution and infestation levels, but also insecticide resistance of Ae. aegypti, to estimate arbovirus transmission risk for its inhabitants. The objective of this study was to determine temephos susceptibility status in the Ae. aegypti population from western, central, and eastern regions of Cuba.

methodsAedes larvae bioassays were performed following World Healthy Organization (WHO) methodology. Entomological samples were collected in the western (Pinar del Rio and Matanzas), central (Santa Clara [Villa Clara], Cienfuegos, Sancti Spíritus, and Camagüey), and eastern (Las Tunas, Holguín, Santiago de Cuba, and Guantánamo) regions of Cuba from February 2022 to June 2023.

resultsThis study showed susceptibility in Las Tunas population (RR

conclusionsMost Ae. aegypti populations tested from western, central and eastern regions of Cuba showed spatial homogeneity of temephos resistance owing to the intensive use of this larvicide since 1981. Insecticide resistance management by the National Vector Control Program is required to reverse temephos resistance development.
