The impact of blood on vector-borne diseases with emphasis on mosquitoes and sand flies.
Review in Trends in parasitology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
The impact of blood and its factors on vector-borne diseases is significant and multifaceted yet understudied. While blood is expected to play a central role in transmission, pathogen development, vector behavior, and vector competence, in experimental settings, most studies are developed in the frame of a single, infected blood meal. To effectively combat vector-borne diseases, we need to determine what is the influence of insect blood-feeding behavior on transmission and development of pathogens, toward translation to natural field settings. This review summarizes current findings, highlights key gaps, and outlines future research directions to enhance our understanding of the role of blood in vector-borne disease transmission.
