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

Phlebotomine sand flies are dipterans that transmit leishmaniasis, bartonellosis, and arboviruses of public health importance. Colombia is a tropical country with high annual incidences of arboviruses, such as dengue and, more recently, yellow fever, all of which have similar symptoms. This study characterized the viruses circulating in phlebotomine sand flies in two departments in the Colombian Caribbean. Between August 2023 and December 2024, a descriptive study was conducted in the Departments of Córdoba and Cesar in Colombia. Four municipalities were selected per department, and four insect captures were performed using CDC light traps. Specimens were taxonomically identified and organized into groups according to species and study area, and total RNA was extracted for NGS analysis. Short sequences were quality-assessed, assembled using MEGAHIT to obtain contigs, and classified using DIAMOND-MEGAN6 to select viral genomic sequences for phylogenetic analysis. Thirteen viral families were identified, including a virus from the family
