[Ocular changes as a diagnostic tool for malaria].
Article in Die Ophthalmologie, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundAccording to the WHO Malaria Report 2019 a total of 229 million people fall ill with malaria each year and two thirds of deaths involve children under 5 years of age.
aimTo review the fundus changes in the context of malaria and the importance of ophthalmoscopy in the diagnosis. MATERIAL AND
methodsSummary of changes in cerebral malaria visible on fundus examination, possible underlying pathomechanisms and the value of ophthalmoscopy in practice.
resultsRetinal findings in malaria include white or gray staining of the retina (retinal whitening), color change of retinal vessels (orange or white staining), hemorrhages often with a white center, such as Roth's spot and papilledema. DISCUSSION: The retinal changes in malaria are specific and may help to differentiate malaria from other causes of coma and fever. Smartphone-based fundus photography and artificial intelligence could support malaria diagnostics particularly in resource-poor regions.
