Malaria in newborn: A missed entity for primary care physician.
Review in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Neonatal malaria and congenital malaria, though thought to be a rare entity in non-endemic areas but incidences from epidemic countries are eye openers. It is still thought by primary care physicians that its existence among neonates is not common even in endemic areas due to a low index of suspicion. In order to attain the objective set out in the global technical strategy against malaria 2016-2030, it is important to have a gravity of this disease in all age groups, especially in children and neonates in which misconception of low burden of infection results in underestimation of its morbidity and mortality in these age groups. This disease is only the tip of the iceberg due to unidentified, underreported and neglected illness and being a pointer towards higher circulation among society and pregnant women. So this review article highlights pathophysiology, epidemiology, clinical features, complications, prognosis, treatment and prevention of malaria in newborns and intends to bring awareness among the caregivers to understand the need for attention towards this neglected disease of neonates so that they should be able to identify and manage the disease in this vulnerable age group.
