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

Mosquito-borne diseases remain a major global public health concern, with Culex quinquefasciatus acting as an important vector of lymphatic filariasis. This study investigated ecological and physico-chemical characteristics of larval breeding habitats across 14 villages in the Ajodhya Hill Forest, Purulia, India, between November 2023 and September 2024. Per-dip larval density (PDLD) was highest in polluted drains near human habitations (38.4 ± 1.5 larvae/dip), compared to ponds (25.53 ± 0.70) and roadside ditches (10.46 ± 0.35). Aerobic heterotrophic bacterial counts ranged from 4.13 × 10
