A comparison of indoor and outdoor malaria vectors in a longitudinal cohort study in Webuye, Western Kenya.
Article in Research square, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Malaria remains a major public health challenge in Kenya, with ~ 75% of the population is at risk. Despite the decline in malaria prevalence in children associated with sustained coverage of Insecticide Treated Nets in Kenya, this gain has not been uniform and there is a great deal of heterogeneity in transmission including areas with much higher transmission than the national average. This calls for a closer look at vector control to understand where it is failing. The main malaria vectors in Webuye are Methods: For 12 months, collection of adult Results: Out of the 46,502 female mosquitoes collected,1,878 (4%) were anophelines. A total of 1,641 (87%) of the anophelines were collected indoors and 237 (13%) outdoors. The highest proportion of mosquitoes were collected between April and June. Ten different Conclusion: There was no evidence that outdoor resting mosquitoes are contributing to malaria transmission. However, the presence of several other species besides the traditional vectors poses a threat of cryptic species sustaining transmission and the ability to feed on animals implicated in sustaining vector population.
