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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesVector-borne diseases (VBDs) remain a major global public health challenge, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. In eastern Colombia, the department of Meta reports a high incidence of arboviral infections such as dengue, as well as parasitic diseases including malaria and leishmaniasis. This study aimed to conduct baseline entomological surveillance and molecular screening of Diptera vectors to detect the circulation of arboviruses and parasitic pathogens in two municipalities of Meta, Fuente de Oro and Vista Hermosa.

methodsAdult mosquitoes and sand flies were collected in both municipalities and identified primarily at the genus level, with

resultsDENV was detected in 34.8% (55/158) of the processed pools, with DENV-1 identified as the most prevalent serotype.

conclusionsThe molecular detection of DENV and
