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
Aedes aegypti, the primary vector of dengue, has developed widespread resistance to insecticides, posing a threat to the efficacy of vector control programs. This study assessed the susceptibility status of Ae. aegypti across Malaysian dengue hotspots and characterized knockdown resistance (kdr) mutations, including the first detection of T1520I. Adult female mosquitoes were collected from seven localities across five Malaysian states. Susceptibility to deltamethrin (0.03%), permethrin (0.4%), pirimiphos-methyl (60 mg/m2), and malathion (5%) was evaluated using bioassay protocols. Knockdown times (KT50, KT95) and resistance ratios (RR) were estimated using probit analysis, and the voltage-gated sodium channel gene was sequenced to detect kdr mutations. All field populations remained susceptible to malathion, with mortality ≥ 95%, though one Johor strain (ABS) showed suspected resistance (95%). Pirimiphos-methyl resistance was widespread, with mortality as low as 6% (ABS). Whereas resistance to pyrethroids was pronounced, with deltamethrin mortality ranging from 22% (ABS) to 95% (AA), and permethrin from 0% (TMB, ABS) to 95% (AA). Knockdown assays revealed high resistance ratios, particularly for permethrin (TMB: RR50=9.98, RR95=14.98; ABS: RR95=41.46). Sequencing identified multiple kdr mutations, including S989P, V1016G, F1534C, A1007G, and the novel detection of T1520I in Malaysian populations. F1534C was strongly associated with permethrin resistance, while V1016G and S989P predominated under deltamethrin exposure. Aedes aegypti populations in Malaysia exhibit widespread pyrethroid resistance and emerging organophosphate resistance, underpinned by multiple kdr mutations. The first detection of T1520I underscores the evolving genetic basis of resistance. These findings highlight the urgent need for integrated resistance management, including molecular surveillance and insecticide rotation, to sustain effective dengue control.
