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

objectiveTo determine the prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum multi-drug resistant gene-1 (Pfmdr-1) N86Y and D1246Y genotypes among febrile malaria outpatients attending Lira Regional Referral Hospital, Uganda.

resultsOverall, 92.3% (n = 48/52) and 90% (n = 45/50) of the parasites detected carried the wild type alleles 1246D and N86, respectively. Only 7.7% (n = 4/52) and 10% (n = 5/50) of these P. falciparum isolates carried the Pfmdr-1 mutant alleles 1246Y and 86Y, respectively. Our results show high prevalence of wild type alleles N86 and D1246 in P. falciparum isolates from Lira Regional Referral Hospital, which could translate to a decreased sensitivity to artemether-lumefantrine. Continued monitoring of prevalence of single nucleotide polymorphisms is warranted to timely inform malaria treatment policies and guidelines.
