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

Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) has made significant progress in reducing malaria in recent years. In the Greater Mekong Subregion, forest-going is often a risk factor contributing to continuing malaria transmission. This study assessed forest-going and other potential risk factors for malaria cases in Champasak Province, Lao PDR. Routine passive surveillance data from August 2017 to December 2018 were extracted from health facilities in three districts for a case-control study; at the time of presentation, all fever cases were asked to report any recent forest travel. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between forest-going and malaria infection while controlling for other covariates. Of 2933 fever cases with data available on forest-sleeping and malaria diagnosis from 25 health facilities, 244 (8%) tested positive (cases), and 2689 (92%) tested negative (controls). Compared with spending 0-2 nights in the forest, spending 3-7 nights in the forest was associated with 9.7 times the odds of having a malaria infection (95% CI: 4.67-20.31,
