Imported Malaria at the Ibn Sina University Hospital in Rabat: A Retrospective Study of 81 Cases.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 In parallel with the eradication of indigenous malaria since 2005 and the certification of Morocco as a malaria-free country by the World Health Organization in 2010, imported malaria cases are still being notified in Morocco. This study aims to describe the epidemiological profile and characterize the demographic, clinical, and biological profile of imported malaria cases diagnosed at the Central Laboratory of Parasitology-Mycology of the Ibn Sina University Hospital in Rabat, Morocco. Methodology This retrospective study analyzed 81 cases of imported malaria at Ibn Sina University Hospital's Central Laboratory of Parasitology-Mycology in Rabat, Morocco from January 2015 to December 2023. Patients meeting the inclusion criteria had contracted malaria in endemic regions, confirmed through parasitological evidence on blood smears. Results Among the 81 positive cases, 55 (63%) were male, resulting in a male-to-female ratio of approximately 3:1. The imported cases came from 15 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, mainly from Ivory Coast (31 patients, 31%) and Guinea (16 patients, 16%). The main clinical sign was fever (79 patients, 97.53%). The majority of patients (70 patients, 86%) suffered from anemia, while thrombocytopenia was present in 76% of patients (62 patients).
