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

Drug resistance in malaria jeopardizes the most elementary objectives of malaria control--reducing suffering and eliminating mortality. An important, and so far the only known, mechanism of drug resistance appears to be polymorphisms in the malaria parasite genes. Efforts to circumvent antimalarial drug resistance now range from the use of combination therapies with existing agents to genomics-based studies directed toward discovering novel targets and agents. However, the potential contribution of host genetic/molecular factors, particularly those associated with antimalarial drug metabolism, remains largely unexplored. Our knowledge concerning the basic mechanisms involved in the pharmacokinetics of antimalarial drugs is fragmentary. In addition, the link between antimalarial drug pharmacokinetics and treatment outcomes is generally unclear. The purpose of this article is to provide general background information on antimalarial drug resistance and associated parasite genetic factors, and subsequently highlight the aforementioned unexplored and unclear areas, with a view to stimulate much needed further research.
