Mapping special areas of the Brazilian National Malaria Control Program in the Amazon region: a territorial-based approach to surveillance.
Article in Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe malaria control strategy of the Brazilian Ministry of Health involves the classification of transmission contexts into special areas based on the distinct determinants of malaria in each location.
objectiveTo search, find, organise, and map data about special areas using Brazilian databases and show their distribution among the states of the Brazilian Amazon.
methodsA search related to the socioenvironmental determinants of malaria was conducted in Brazilian databases using the special areas of the Ministry of Health as a reference. Data were compiled by states in the Brazilian Amazon.
findingsIndigenous areas occupy a significant portion of the Amazon territory and exhibit high incidence rates of malaria. Rural settlements also cover large areas of the Amazon, and in some states, more than 10% of malaria cases are associated with this typology. Legal and illegal mining areas, despite occupying small portions of the Amazon territory, contribute to the malaria caseload. In contrast, urban areas cover smaller regions, with low incidence rates. MAIN
conclusionsDespite the progress represented by the typological structure of special areas by the Ministry of Health's, our findings reveal limitations related to them because of their complexities and emphasise the need to further substratify these areas to devise control strategies more adapted to them.
