Haematological Parameters and Spleen Rate of Asymptomatic and Malaria Negative Children in Edo South District, Nigeria.
Article in Annals of global health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Malaria is commonly associated with alteration in haematologic cells of infected individuals in both the acute uncomplicated and severe phases. Whether this alteration occurs in the asymptomatic phase of the disease is still being investigated. Objectives: To examine the haematocrit, thrombocytes, and monocytes levels of children with asymptomatic malaria compared with age/sex-matched controls who are malaria parasite negative and living in a stable malaria endemic region. It also set out to identify spleen rate of the children and to compare it with that observed in malaria negative controls. Methods: One hundred well-nourished children 2-9 years old with asymptomatic malaria parasitaemia and 100 age- and sex-matched malaria negative controls were recruited by multi-stage sampling from schools in a malaria endemic region of Nigeria. Malaria diagnosis was by microscopy, and each haematologic parameter was analysed following standard protocols. Results: Mean (±) monocyte count of 2.25 ± 0.9 × 10 Conclusion: Thrombocytopaenia and monocytosis could be pointers to malaria parasitaemia in asymptomatic phase in a stable malaria region.
