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

During the 2024 Oropouche virus (OROV) outbreak in South America, mosquito surveillance led to the identification of pools of Culex quinquefasciatus infected with the virus. Because of the outbreak strain's status as a novel reassortment and the novel sequela discovered during this outbreak, concerns arose about Culex species as potential vectors in the continental United States. To assess the risk posed by Cx. quinquefasciatus and the closely related species Culex pipiens, the vector competence of mosquitoes reared from eggs collected in Dallas, TX, and New Jersey was examined. Three replicates of an infectious bloodmeal were offered to Cx. quinquefasciatus at generations F2, F4, and F9, resulting in 0/305 individuals with midgut infections. One infectious bloodmeal was offered to Cx. pipiens at generation F4, with 0/120 resulting midgut infections. These data, which align with other recent publications, indicate that United States populations of Cx. quinquefasciatus and Cx. pipiens are not competent vectors of the outbreak strain of OROV.
