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

Although malaria is no longer endemic in the United States, imported cases continue to pose a diagnostic challenge for emergency physicians. This study examined county- and city-level trends in imported malaria across New York State (NYS) and New York City (NYC) from 2018 to 2024. Surveillance data revealed that NYC accounted for the majority of reported cases (79.1%). Within NYS, 11 of 57 counties (Albany, Dutchess, Erie, Monroe, Nassau, Oneida, Onondaga, Orange, Suffolk, Sullivan, and Westchester) contributed 88.3% of all state cases outside NYC. A marked decline in cases occurred in 2020, coinciding with COVID-19-related travel restrictions, followed by a rebound in 2021. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating both recent travel history and awareness of local county-level malaria cases into the evaluation of febrile patients in New York emergency departments, while also highlighting the need for targeted malaria prevention strategies in the state's identified hotspots.
