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

backgroundThe dispersal of Aedes aegypti is influenced by anthropogenic features of urban environments and climatic factors. Miami-Dade County is undergoing rapid urban expansion, creating favorable conditions that support the proliferation of Ae. aegypti. In response to this heightened entomological risk and the continued occurrence of dengue transmission, strengthened vector control programs are essential. Effective mosquito control requires a detailed understanding of vector dispersal ecology. In this study, we aimed to estimate the dispersal parameters of local Ae. aegypti populations in two urban environments in Miami-Dade County.

methodsThis dispersal study was conducted using rhodamine B self-marking mark-capture procedures. The self-marking unit consists of a rhodamine B sugar feeding apparatus for adult marking, an ovicup containing rhodamine B solution for larval marking, and CO

resultsA total of 216 and 36 marked specimens were captured in Redlands and Opa-Locka, respectively. The higher collections in Redlands were associated with higher vegetation coverage and the presence of a tire yard, while daily precipitation was negatively associated with marked specimen counts. The overall dispersal parameters were lower in an agricultural area in the suburban city of Redlands [MinDT = 10.07 m, MaxDT = 144.28 m, MDT = 63.65 m, 50% flight range (FR

conclusionsThis study demonstrates the utility of rhodamine B self-marking procedures for measuring dispersal parameters and provides essential insight into Ae. aegypti dispersal that can enhance the precision and effectiveness of intervention programs.
