Development of Malaria Digital Archives in Myanmar Through Official Development Assistance and Their Narrative Review.
Review in Pathogens (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. 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
The Myanmar government aims to eliminate malaria by 2030, but comprehensive summaries of its malaria control efforts are scarce. To support this goal, a literature review and long-term document preservation are essential. This study collected academic papers, master's and doctoral theses, and policy documents on malaria control in Myanmar and its surrounding regions, published between 1950 and 2016 through Official Development Assistance. The documents were sourced from online databases, medical universities, and research institutions in Yangon. They were categorized by region and WHO-defined malaria control activity areas and archived digitally at the Ministry of Health. A total of 1107 relevant papers were identified, with 818 collected. Epidemiology-related studies accounted for 40%, followed by drug resistance, surveillance, and treatment. Recent years have seen a rise in genetic and molecular epidemiology research. Full-text analysis revealed significant malaria research in border regions, particularly near the borders of Thailand and China. This study highlights the progress and historical trends in Myanmar's efforts to control malaria. The archive created will be a valuable resource for future policy planning and implementation efforts aimed at achieving malaria elimination.
