Population genetics of the black fly Simulium asakoae from Laos and its relationships with Southeast Asian populations.
Article in Genetica, 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
Simulium asakoae is a widespread species of black fly in Southeast Asia and a potential vector of parasites of medical and veterinary importance. Despite its broad distribution and diverse habitats, population genetic information remains limited. We investigated the genetic diversity, population structure, and demographic history of S. asakoae in Laos and examined its genetic relationships with populations from other Southeast Asian countries, using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences. A total of 369 COI sequences (241 generated in the present study and 128 retrieved from GenBank) were analyzed. Of these, 284 sequences (241 from this study and 43 from GenBank) originated from nine locations across five provinces in Laos. Among the Laotian specimens, 51 haplotypes were identified, showing high haplotype diversity (Hd = 0.9063) and moderate nucleotide diversity (π = 0.0080). Intraspecific genetic divergence among Lao populations ranged from 0 to 2.49%, increasing slightly to 2.66% when regional sequences were included. Median-joining network analyses revealed no major genetic breaks or clear geographic structuring in Laos or across Southeast Asia, indicating extensive gene flow. Pairwise F
