Factors Associated With Resistance to In-Hospital Treatment of Malaria in Angolan Patients.
Article in Infectious diseases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 a public health problem, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. In Angola, it is the leading cause of death, morbidity, and absenteeism from work and school. Objective: To evaluate the social and clinical factors associated with resistance to in-hospital treatment. Methodology: A prospective analytical cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach was conducted including 220 patients with malaria. Results: Of the 220 patients enrolled, the majority were between 21 and 40 years old (72.7%), male (53.6%), of peri-urban areas (47.7%), employees (46.4%), and with high parasitemia levels (57.7%). Of the remaining hospitalized patients (61.4%), 20.9% were resistant to treatment. The resistance risk was higher in patients over 40 years [OR: 5.91 (95% CI: 0.76-45.7), Conclusion: Treatment with antimalarial drugs as well as the use of adjuvants such as dipyrone, metoclopramide, ciprofloxacin, and diazepam can reduce the chances of developing resistance to malaria treatment, however, it is necessary to carry out further in-depth studies.
