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

Malaria control can significantly benefit from a holistic and precise way of quantitatively measuring the transmission intensity, which needs to incorporate spatiotemporally varying risk factors. In this study, we conduct a systematic investigation to characterize malaria transmission intensity by taking a spatiotemporal network perspective, where nodes capture the local transmission intensities resulting from dominant vector species, the population density, and land cover, and edges describe the cross-region human mobility patterns. The inferred network enables us to accurately assess the transmission intensity over time and space from available empirical observations. Our study focuses on malaria-severe districts in Cambodia. The malaria transmission intensities determined using our transmission network reveal both qualitatively and quantitatively their seasonal and geographical characteristics: the risks increase in the rainy season and decrease in the dry season; remote and sparsely populated areas generally show higher transmission intensities than other areas. Our findings suggest that: the human mobility (e.g., in planting/harvest seasons), environment (e.g., temperature), and contact risk (coexistences of human and vector occurrence) contribute to malaria transmission in spatiotemporally varying degrees; quantitative relationships between these influential factors and the resulting malaria transmission risk can inform evidence-based tailor-made responses at the right locations and times.
