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

purposeAedes albopictus, known as the Asian tiger mosquito, is an extensively studied mosquito species recognized for its rapid global expansion and its capacity to transmit a range of viruses such as dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever viruses. In 2010, Ae. albopictus was observed for the first time in Tizi-Ouzou, Algeria, and since then has colonized all the northern part of the country until the semi-arid areas. The present study was devoted to the molecular characterization of Ae. albopictus in Algeria.

methodsA total of 20 selected mosquitos,originated from collected eggs in five different districts of northern Algeria weretested by PCR amplification and sequencing of the Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 a (COIa).

resultsPairwise alignment of the obtained sequences with representative Ae. albopictus available COIasequences of the world exhibit 117 different haplotypes. The Algerian sequences are grouped in 1 haplotype shared with Morroco, Madagascar and Mauritius in Africa and 3 other continents (Asia, Europe and America). Asia expresses the highest genetic and nucleotidic diversity (Hd = 0.828;π = 0.0144). In China two new species not described in the literature and confused with Ae. albopictus are detected.

conclusionThese results could be used as preliminary data to study and develop targeted control strategies to prevent this vector from spreading in Algeria.
