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

backgroundMalaria is still major problem in developing countries, such as Pakistan. Besides fever, body ache and vomiting it can present with acute kidney injury, proteinuria, hematuria and cerebral manifestations which are more common with falciparum malaria. Neurological manifestations are rare presentation of malaria and should be consider in patients who are admitting with features of neuropathy and stroke. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe an unusual case of falciparum malaria, complicated by acute kidney injury who developed Polyneuropathy and intra-arterial thrombosis in middle cerebral artery territory. Our patient recovered his renal functions during admission and recovered his power and sensation in his limbs as well after 1 month.

conclusionMalaria cause neurological manifestations including axonal and sensory neuropathy, cerebral venous and arterial thrombosis, PMNS, cerebellar signs and symptoms, psychosis, etc. With prompt diagnosis and early treatment they can be cure and regain their motor and sensory functions to normal level.
