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

Severe malaria occurs most in young children but is poorly understood due to the absence of a developmentally-equivalent rodent model to study the pathogenesis of the disease. Though functional and quantitative deficiencies in innate response and a biased T helper 1 (Th1) response are reported in newborn pups, there is little information available about this intermediate stage of the adaptive immune system in murine neonates. To fill this gap in knowledge, we have developed a mouse model of severe malaria in young mice using 15-day old mice (pups) infected with Plasmodium chabaudi. We observe similar parasite growth pattern in pups and adults, with a 60% mortality and a decrease in the growth rate of the surviving young mice. Using a battery of behavioral assays, we observed neurological symptoms in pups that do not occur in infected wildtype adults. CD4
