ArticleData in brief2025
2022-'23 Malawi rapid mortality mobile phone survey (RaMMPS) dataset.
Article in Data in brief, 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
In countries with limited civil registration and vital statistics systems, mortality estimates are often derived from periodic censuses and household surveys. Mobile Phone Surveys (MPS) offer a potentially cost-effective and efficient alternative for mortality monitoring. However, their utility for this purpose still requires rigorous evaluation. The Rapid Mortality Mobile Phone Surveys (RaMMPS) project aims to develop and validate methodologies for collecting mortality data through phone-based surveys. The Malawi RaMMPS fieldwork was conducted between 24 January 2022 and 28 July 2023 and included several survey modules, including respondent background characteristics, COVID-19 vaccination status, deaths in the household in the three months prior to the interview, parental survival histories, sibling survival histories, and pregnancy histories. The resulting datasets can be used for estimating mortality and assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Survey paradata can be used for analysing respondent engagement and the data collection process in an MPS.
