Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Surveillance of Rooftop Aedes Breeding Sites Before Dengue Season - Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, China, 2024-2025.
Article in China CDC weekly, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
What is already known about this topic?: Aedes mosquitoes commonly breed in domestic water-holding containers; however, rooftop environments are difficult to access and are often absent from routine surveillance, especially in densely populated urban settings. What is added by this report?: This study demonstrated that unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can rapidly and reliably identify rooftop water-holding containers, reduce on-site inspection workload by 67.7%, and provide early indications of seasonal changes in Aedes larval activity. UAV-detected containers were closely aligned with ground-verified entomological indices. What are the implications for public health practice?: Integrating UAV-assisted surveillance into routine vector control programs could strengthen early detection of Aedes breeding sites, improve operational efficiency, and support targeted dengue prevention efforts in urban communities.
