The global compendium of Aedes japonicus: An Underappreciated Arbovirus Vector of growing concerns.
Article in Scientific data, 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
The Asian bush mosquito, Aedes japonicus (Theobald, 1901), is an invasive species and a competent vector for several arboviruses, including chikungunya virus, dengue virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, West Nile virus, and Zika virus. Field studies have also detected La Crosse virus in wild populations, further supporting its potential role in arbovirus transmission. To address the fragmented and incomplete state of knowledge regarding its spread, we have assembled a global dataset of documented presences from 1950 to 2025. This data descriptor presents a curated database of geolocated records, formatted as points, derived primarily from peer-reviewed literature and supplemented with validated national survey data and selectively integrated records from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) following rigorous quality control. We detail the methodology for data acquisition, coordinate assignment, and the rigorous validation steps applied. This first comprehensive repository specifically for Ae. japonicus, containing 4618 validated records, provides a critical resource for spatial mapping and risk assessment of this vector and its associated pathogens.
