Spatio-temporal characterization of malaria prevalence in a peri-urban resource limited setting of Western Kenya Highlands.
Article in African health sciences, 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: Malaria is the main killer disease in sub-Sahara Africa. Objective: The study identified malaria prevalence patterns in relation to space and time trends in a peri-urban resource limited setting of Western Kenya highlands aimed at strengthening implementation of malaria control strategies. Method: A longitudinal study was carried out in Mbale town and its environs, Vihiga County, from December 2019 to November 2020. Among patients who presented themselves at Mbale Provincial Rural Training health center for different medical issues, 768 malaria confirmed patients were recruited and signed consent before the study commenced. Data was collected using questionnaire and microscopy which was presented through graphs, frequency, means and analyzed using linear regression. P-value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Conclusion: Spatio-temporal characterization and many mosquito breeding grounds influenced malaria prevalence in the study area. Malaria control strategies should be strengthened in relation to space and time-trend.
