Recent Advances in the Prophylaxis and Treatment of Malaria.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2001. 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
Increases in international travel and escalating drug resistance are putting put a growing number of travelers at risk of contracting malaria. Resistance to chloroquine and proguanil and real and perceived intolerance to standard agents, such as mefloquine, has highlighted the need for new antimalarials to prevent and treat malaria. Promising new agents to prevent malaria include the combination of atovaquone and proguanil, primaquine, and a related 8-aminoquinoline, tafenoquine. These agents are active against the liver stage of the malaria parasite, and therefore can be discontinued shortly after the traveler leaves the malaria-endemic area; this offers a clear advantage, in terms of adherence to a treatment regimen. For treatment of multidrug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria, the combination of artemisinin derivatives plus mefloquine, or atovaquone plus proguanil, are the most active drug regimens.
