Measuring the Impact of Malaria on the Living Human Retina.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Retinal examination and imaging are relatively simple methods for studying the dynamic impact of cerebral malaria on the microcirculation of the central nervous system. Retina and brain are affected similarly by Plasmodium falciparum. Unlike the brain, the human retina can be directly observed using commercially available clinical instruments in the setting of a critical care unit, and this can be done repeatedly and non-invasively. Additional information about blood-tissue barriers can be gained from fluorescein angiography. Non-ophthalmologist clinician scientists are usually unfamiliar with ophthalmoscopy and retinal imaging, and some readers may feel that these techniques are beyond them. This chapter aims to quell these fears by providing a step-by-step description of how to examine and photograph the human retina in children with cerebral malaria.
