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 major health problem in the world particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where 90% of malaria deaths occur. Likewise malaria is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Ethiopia. It has been reported that about 75% of the country is malarious where 60% of its population is at risk of this infection. Like many African countries, Ethiopian urban settings are characterized by poor housing, lack of sanitation and drainage of surface water which provide conducive environment for the breeding of vector mosquitoes for the transmission of malaria. There are few researches on urban malaria under the urban settings of Ethiopia. The purpose of this study was to assess the magnitude of malaria cases due to
