A Retrospective Analysis of Malaria Trends in Leka Dulecha Health Center over the Last Ten Years (2013-2022), Western Oromia, East Wollega Zone.
Article in BioMed research international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 serious public health concern in the world, and it causes a major socioeconomic problem in Ethiopia. Malaria data trend analysis of health facilities is useful to understand the prevalence and incidence of malaria cases and implementing evidence-based malaria control strategies. Hence, the main objective of this study was to investigate the malaria trends over the last ten years (2013-2022) at Leka Dulecha Health Center, East Wollega Zone, Western Oromia. Results: In the last ten years, a total of 30,576.00 suspected malaria cases were examined at Leka Dulecha Health Center, and out of these, 7,413.00 (24.24%) confirmed malaria cases were reported. In this health center, malaria cases were reported among both sexes and all age categories, but male (3,951.00, 54%) and age groups ≥ 15 years (3,994, 54%) were the most affected. The highest peak of malaria cases was reported during the autumn season (September, October, and November) followed by the spring season (March, April, and May) in the years of 2013 and 2007. In this study, the prevalence of malaria species was identified as Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, and mixed cases, with 5,014 (68%), 1,123 (15%), and 1,848 (25%), while Plasmodium falciparum was reported as the highest recorded cases. Conclusion: Males and above 15 years old were more affected than the others. The highest peak malaria prevalence appeared from September to December of 2017 and 2013 years. Therefore, proper planning, implementation, and monitor of malaria prevention and control activities should be strengthened at all levels.
