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

It is currently unclear whether repeated mosquito feeding attempts achieve pathogen transmission. We measured Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite expelling in Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes during 2 interrupted feeding attempts. The number of expelled sporozoites was positively correlated with salivary gland sporozoite load during the first feeding effort (ρ = 0.36, P = .0181) but less so during subsequent feeding (ρ = 0.06, P = .6811). The median number of expelled sporozoites was of similar magnitude during the first and second feeding event, with a strong correlation between them (ρ = 0.56, P = .0002). We conclude that repeated feeding results in repeated sporozoite inoculation at similar intensity.
