The Lutzomyia longipalpis complex: what's next?
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 1 paper.
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
Lutzomyia longipalpis is a phlebotomine sand fly of medico-veterinary importance and the primary vector of Leishmania infantum in the Americas. Its taxonomic status has been debated for decades, with ongoing uncertainty about whether it represents a single species or a species complex. While multiple studies support the existence of cryptic species, no formal taxonomic revision has been conducted to describe the putative species within the so-called L. longipalpis complex. A crucial step in resolving this issue is the designation of a name-bearing specimen (neotype) for L. longipalpis sensu stricto. Herein, I address the ongoing debate surrounding the L. longipalpis complex and provide insights to advance its taxonomic resolution and public health implications.
