Malaria Trends, Burden, Seasonal Variation, and Interventions in Western Tigray, Ethiopia.
Article in Journal of tropical medicine, 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
Background: Despite being preventable and treatable, malaria continues to have a devastating impact on people's health and livelihoods around the world. In Ethiopia, it is one of the three leading causes of hospital admission and mortality. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the trend, burden, seasonal variations, and interventional assessment of malaria in Western Tigray, Ethiopia, from 2011 to 2019. Methods: A hospital-based retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out to determine trend, burden, seasonal variations, and interventional assessment of malaria in Kahsay Abera General Hospital, Western Tigray, North Ethiopia, from 2011 to 2019. All recorded microscopically confirmed malaria cases in the Health Management Information System of the hospital were carefully taken and analyzed. Also, malaria intervention activities applied in the area were assessed using a checklist, personal communication with hospital administrators, and observations. All data of malaria cases were entered and analyzed using Microsoft Office Excel and presented in tables and figures. Results: A total of 36,438 malaria cases with 50 (0.14%) hospital mortality and 2016 (5.5%) hospital admissions were recorded from 2011 to 2019. Conclusions: Despite Ethiopia's notable progress in malaria control, the disease remains a major health problem with fluctuating annual trends.
