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

Malaria is a serious and sometimes fatal disease caused by an intraerythrocytic parasite, and is commonly seen in developing countries. Approximately 1500 cases of malaria are diagnosed in the United States each year, mostly in travelers and immigrants returning from endemic areas [1]. There are many different regimens used to treat malaria, some of which are not approved in the USA. The side effects of these medications may not be familiar to physicians in the USA. We report a case of a returning traveler from Nigeria presenting with fever and hemolytic anemia caused by a delayed response to artesunate given 3 weeks earlier while in Nigeria. To our knowledge, there are few cases reported in the United States of hemolytic anemia secondary to artesunate therapy [2].
