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

Imported malaria in Anhui Province, China, remains a significant public health issue with frequent reporting of severe and fatal cases, partly because of globalization and increased international communication. A retrospective evaluation using surveillance data from 2012 to 2018 was conducted to draw lessons on diagnosis of imported malaria. Epidemiological characteristics, together with diagnostic information, were analyzed using descriptive and comparative statistics. Simultaneously, blinded rechecking of malaria blood slides was performed at general hospitals in Anhui Province in 2018. The results showed that, in their first medical visits, 238 (28.2%) of 844 imported cases were not correctly diagnosed. Notably, the proportion of patients who were misdiagnosed at the first clinic visit was 104/120 (86.7%) at private and village clinics, and 41/81 (50.6%) at primary hospitals.
