Updating the frequency of CCR5Δ32 in Brazil: Descriptive analysis of malaria cases and controls from Acre State, Amazon region.
Article in Genetics and molecular biology, 2026. 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
This study updates data on the distribution of CCR5Δ32 allele frequency in populations from Brazilian states. CCR5Δ32 is a variant allele of the CCR5 gene, which prevents (in homozygosity) or reduces (in heterozygosity) the expression of the CCR5 protein on the surface of leukocytes, being an important factor in infectious diseases. Also, this study reports the frequency of CCR5Δ32 in women from the state of Acre, located in the Brazilian Amazon, a region where the Δ32 allele and malaria are observed concurrently. We found allele frequencies of 2.88% in Plasmodium-infected women and of 1.04% among uninfected women. The low Δ32 allele frequencies observed in Acre, compared to other Brazilian regions, could be a reflection of the particular ancestry patterns in current Amazonian populations influenced by past European colonization.
