Estimated suitability distribution for Culicoides (Haematomyidium) paraensis (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in the contiguous United States and associated Caribbean territories.
Article in Journal of medical entomology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The distribution of Culicoides paraensis, the primary reported vector for Oropouche virus (OROV), is poorly defined in the Caribbean and Contiguous United States (CONUS). These areas experienced a dramatic range expansion of the virus (Caribbean) or reported travel-associated human cases (CONUS) of OROV in recent years. Using a recently compiled collection of county-level presence reports of C. paraensis throughout CONUS, we fitted ecological niche models to estimate a conservative county-level distribution of C. paraensis in CONUS and the US Caribbean territories (Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands). We estimated high suitability across the southeastern United States with moderate suitability extending north to the Great Lakes and along the Atlantic coast. The western United States and Caribbean territories were estimated with low suitability. However, dramatic differences in environmental conditions in these areas relative to counties with reported collections limit our confidence in these estimates. While further surveillance is needed to refine these estimates, our risk maps provide an initial county-level estimate of suitability along with uncertainty.
