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

Coquillettidia perturbans (Walker) is a North American mosquito species of medical and veterinary importance that has been implicated as a vector of eastern equine encephalitis virus. Larval and pupal C. perturbans possess highly specialized respiratory appendages that enable them to respire from air vesicles in the hollow roots and shoots of emergent aquatic vegetation, which means that the larval and pupal stages have remained largely understudied. Field-collected C. perturbans larvae, pupae, and adults were studied under laboratory conditions in an attempt to establish a laboratory colony. Blood-fed adults successfully laid egg rafts in containers provisioned with water hyacinth plants (Pontederia crassipes). Larvae and pupae were maintained on hydroponically grown wheat seedlings (Triticum sp.). Images and descriptions of egg rafts, larvae, and pupae are provided with special reference to hatch success, larval instar traits and pupal trumpet morphology.
