Effect of Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention on Immune Markers of Exhaustion and Regulation.
Article in The Journal of infectious diseases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02504918 (Markers of T Cell Suppression), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 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.

Abstract
backgroundSeasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) is a novel strategy to reduce malaria infections in children. Infection with Plasmodium falciparum results in immune dysfunction characterized by elevated expression of markers associated with exhaustion, such as PD1 and LAG3, and regulatory CD4+FOXP3+ T cells.
methodsIn the current study, the impact of seasonal malaria chemoprevention on malaria-induced immune dysfunction, as measured by markers associated with exhaustion and regulatory T cells, was explored by flow cytometry.
resultsChildren that received seasonal malaria chemoprevention had fewer malaria episodes and showed significantly lower fold changes in CD4+PD1+ and CD4+PD1+LAG3+ compared to those that did not receive SMC. Seasonal malaria chemoprevention had no observable effect on fold changes in CD8 T cells expressing PD1 or CD160. However, children receiving SMC showed greater increases in CD4+FOXP3+ T regulatory cells compared to children not receiving SMC.
conclusionsThese results provide important insights into the dynamics of malaria-induced changes in the CD4 T-cell compartment of the immune system and suggest that the reduction of infections due to seasonal malaria chemoprevention may also prevent immune dysfunction.
