Paediatric malaria: What do paediatricians need to know?
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Although malaria is principally a disease of the tropical and subtropical regions of the world, it is an important disease to be familiar with for both local and global reasons. It remains to be one of the most important infectious diseases of the world, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, killing more than one million people - mostly children - every year. In Canada, at least 350 to 1100 imported cases are reported annually, 25% of which are in the paediatric age group, as a result of both travel and migration. Because malaria is a potentially severe and sometimes fatal disease that is unfamiliar to many paediatricians in Canada, it is important that clinicians become familiar with its clinical presentation; understand when it should be suspected; and have an approach to prompt diagnosis, appropriate treatment and effective prevention methods.
