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

backgroundThe use of toxic sugar bait with ivermectin (TSB

methodsConcentrations of 0.012%, 0.025%, and 0.050% ivermectin diluted in 20% sucrose were tested on groups of 40 adult flies (1:1 male:female), aged 4-8 days. Exposure to TSB

resultsBoth species showed cumulative mortality of 100% at the highest concentration of ivermectin (0.050%), although P. (S.) lambens was more sensitive to the compound than C. megacephala, with most deaths occurring within the first 24 h. At lower concentrations, mortality ranged from 97 to 81% for P. (S.) lambens (at 0.025% and 0.012%, respectively), and 78-57% for C. megacephala. Mortality differed significantly between these species (P < 0.001), but not between the sexes (P = 0.8). TSB

conclusionsThe results suggest that the 0.050% concentration of ivermectin, which is known to be effective against mosquitoes, is also optimal for the rapid population control of synanthropic flies, enabling its integrated use in highly infested or vulnerable environments, such as health care facilities.
