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
Malaria was one of the main research themes of Leônidas de Mello Deane (1914-1993) and Maria José von Paumgartten Deane (1916-1995), a couple of parasitologists - known among their peers as "the Deanes" - who in the late 1930s and 1940s ventured into areas of the Amazon, where the disease was endemic, and of the northeastern Brazil, where an important epidemic outbreak ecloded. Despite their knowledge of the disease and the adoption of preventive measures, both contracted malaria, he the malignant tertian fever (Plasmodium falciparum) and she the benign form of the disease (Plasmodium vivax). This article describes the circumstances in which they became infected and the evolution and outcome of their malaria. The years subsequent to the period in which they became ill witnessed extraordinary progress in the pharmacological treatment of malaria. The Deanes' two episodes of malaria are contextualised in relation to the treatment alternatives available at the time and the couple's suspicions regarding the development of resistance to existing antimalarial drugs in view of the persistence of recurrences of the disease despite treatment.
