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

Saint Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV) is an endemic arbovirus in the Americas, maintained in enzootic cycles involving mosquitoes and birds. Agroecosystems influence vector ecology and SLEV dynamics. We analysed mosquito communities and SLEV activity in agroecosystems of northeastern La Pampa, Argentina, assessing environmental and biological drivers. Mosquitoes were collected at 15 sites (2017-2019) using Centers for Disease Control light traps. SLEV was detected by RT-nested PCR, and minimum infection rate was estimated. We collected a total of 3075 mosquitoes; Culex interfor Dyar (Diptera: Culicidae) s.l. and Culex mollis Dyar & Knab s.l. were the most abundant. The abundance of Cx. interfor s.l. was associated with agricultural frequency, Cx. mollis s.l. abundance and species richness, whereas Cx. mollis s.l. abundance was only associated with Cx. interfor s.l. abundance. We also extended the known distributions of Anopheles albitarsis Lynch Arribálzaga and Culex acharistus Root. SLEV was detected in 35 of 229 pools across 6 sites. Viral activity was negatively associated with Cx. mollis s.l. abundance and distance to water, highlighting key ecological factors shaping SLEV transmission.
