Feasibility of Malaria Elimination in Ethiopia.
Review in Ethiopian journal of health sciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe problem of malaria is very severe in Ethiopia where it has been the major cause of illness and death for many years. The purpose of this review article is to assess the feasibility of malaria elimination in Ethiopia.
methodTo compile this review article, different relevant research articles related to the topic from open access journals were searched using different searching engines such as Google scholar, Science direct, and Pub Med using different key words and phrases.
resultBased on review of the literature, Ethiopia has been trying to control and eliminate malaria for more than 60 years. To assess feasibility of malaria elimination, the WHO assessment tools/recommendations for elimination of malaria were used. Based on WHO parameters, the country has achieved remarkable progress on the fight against malaria during the most recent decades. Malaria morbidity and mortality have been reduced dramatically with intensive use of insecticide residual spray, long lasting insecticide treated nets, chemotherapies, improved diagnosis and case management, improved quality of laboratories, continued support from malaria partners, and political commitment of the Ethiopian government towards malaria prevention and control. Hence, the past achievements and current activities, have led to consider the possibility of malaria elimination in Ethiopia at least by 2030 or beyond.
conclusionConsidering the triumphs achieved so far and the current undertaking efforts, malaria could possibly be eliminated from Ethiopia once and for all.
