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

Background: Recent molecular surveillance suggests an unexpectedly high prevalence of non-falciparum malaria in Africa. Malaria control is also challenged by undetected asymptomatic Methods: We performed quantitative real time PCR for four malaria species in 5,050 primarily adult individuals in Rwanda using the 2014-2015 Demographic Health Survey. We assessed correlates of infection by species to explore attributes associated with each species. Asymptomatic Results: Overall infection prevalence was 22.3% (95%CI [20.3, 24.3]), with Conclusions: Asymptomatic non-falciparum malaria and
