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

introductionTo quantify the impact of tropical cyclones on dengue transmission dynamics and related disease burden by integrating field entomology with dynamic modelling in Guangzhou, China.

methodsGuangzhou was selected as the study site considering that it is China's most dengue-endemic coastal megacity with frequent tropical cyclones and the country's largest recorded dengue outbreak in 2014. Mark-release-recapture experiments with laboratory simulations were performed in 2024 to assess the flight distance, reproduction and survival of

resultsDuring cyclones, Aedes albopictus maximum flight distance increased by 63.0% and human-mosquito contact rate by 30.1%. Estimated R

conclusionsTropical cyclones amplify dengue transmission by expanding mosquito dispersal and intensifying human-vector contact. Early vector control, guided by warnings, substantially reduces cases and costs.
