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

Several arboviruses including Dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, West Nile and Japanese encephalitis viruses are emerging and re-emerging in many parts of the world over last two decades. Thus, environmental surveillance of the mosquito borne viruses employing latest next generation sequencing technology could enhance our comprehension about an impending outbreak, thereby, providing opportunity for timely intervention. In this study, Aedes larvae were collected from different locations of Gwalior, Central India, cultured and grown to adult and were screened utilizing metagenomic workflow in Oxford Nanopore platform. The results produced sufficient and valuable insights through demonstration of divergence of these mosquitoes’ virome. Viral families associated with Myoviridae, Mimiviridae, Iridoviridae, Bunyaviridae, Flaviviridae, Mesonivirdae etc. were prevailing across the pools, varying in relative abundance. Viruses like Betabaculovirus, Mimivirus, Shamonda virus were reported in most pools in high abundance. Viral analysis leads to Phasi Charoen-like virus (PCLV), Nam Dinh virus (NDiV), Hubei mosquito virus (HMV), Wenzhou sobemo-like virus 4 (WSLV) findings across samples. This work reports the first successful metagenomic profiling of field-collected mosquitoes from Gwalior, Central India. Consequently, this technique might be employed to wide spectrum investigation of field mosquitoes, aiding in public health awareness about currently circulating viruses as a preparedness against future epidemic.
