Congenital malaria in a neonate born in a malaria-endemic area: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 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
backgroundMalaria remains a significant public health concern, particularly in Africa, where children under 5 years of age are affected. While mosquito bites are the primary transmission route, congenital malaria caused by transplacental or perinatal transmission can also occur. This case report highlights the challenges in diagnosing congenital malaria and emphasizes the importance of considering it in neonates, especially those born in or with a travel history to endemic areas. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of congenital malaria in a 48 h-old male neonate born to a 23 year-old Ethiopian primigravida. The mother, who had received antenatal care in a nonendemic area, was diagnosed and treated for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria with artemether-lumefantrine (Coartem
conclusionDespite the nonspecific symptoms, this case emphasizes the importance of considering congenital malaria in neonates, particularly those with a history of travel to endemic areas. Blood film microscopy confirmed coinfection and guided effective antimalarial therapy. Strengthening antenatal care services, including intermittent preventive treatment during pregnancy, is recommended to reduce the burden of congenital malaria.
