Uganda Public Health Fellowship Program's Contributions to Malaria Control Programs 2015-2022: Strategies, Implementation Challenges, and Opportunities.
Article in Global health, science and practice, 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
The Uganda Public Health Fellowship Program (UPHFP) is a 2-year, non-degree-granting field epidemiology training program. It enrolls only post-Master's degree fellows, who are integrated during their training into key Ministry of Health (MOH) programs, such as the National Malaria Control Program, and supported technically and financially by the U.S. President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, the nature and extent of the UPHFP contributions to the malaria control programs have not been systematically documented. We describe how the UPHFP strategies contributed to malaria control programs and share implementation challenges and opportunities to inform future programming. From 2015 to 2022, UPHFP led or supported 50 malaria projects, including 14 malaria surveillance projects, 11 malaria outbreak investigations, 7 epidemiological studies, 5 case studies, 6 malaria quality improvement projects, 3 policy briefs, and 4 training and mentorship projects. These projects have informed policy decisions and strengthened surveillance, coordination, and response to malaria outbreaks. A key challenge is single-source funding that makes the program more vulnerable to changes in donor priorities. Our documentation demonstrates the critical value of UPHFP to the country's malaria control efforts by enhancing epidemiologic workforce capacity and strengthening epidemiological surveillance.
