Occurrence of Culex (Microculex) Theobald, 1907 in a polyvinyl chloride trap container indicates an ongoing adaptation process to anthropized environment.

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.
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
Microculex mosquitoes are widespread in Central and South America and typically oviposit in phytotelmata breeding sites. However, some species also tend to oviposit in artificial containers. Artificial containers made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC traps) were installed and monitored in Pariquera-Acu and Cananeia, São Paulo State, Brazil for six months (December 2024 to August 2025) to test their efficiencies in collecting mosquitoes. Of the four collected species, three are considered sylvatic species: Toxorhynchites (Megarhina) theobaldi, Culex (Microculex) imitator, and Limatus durhamii. Culex (Microculex) imitator specimens were collected for the first time in an artificial breeding site. This finding indicates that Cx. imitator tend to use artificial containers for reproduction. Continuous monitoring and research on the ecology and epidemiological relevance of Cx. imitator is essential given the limited information on its potential role as an arbovirus vector.
