1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundMalaria remains a major public health concern in Africa, due to the persistence of

methodsA prospective cohort and entomological study were conducted from January to September 2025 in Northwest Ethiopia. Ninety-six microscopically confirmed cases of

resultsGametocyte prevalence declined faster with AL + SLD-PQ (15.2% on day 3; 0% by day 7) compared to AL alone (28.9% on day 3:

conclusionsHigh baseline gametocyte density strongly correlated with increased infectivity. Adding SLD-PQ markedly accelerates gametocyte clearance and completely blocks post-treatment transmission. Submicroscopic gametocytemia contributed to residual transmission in the AL-only group. Incorporation of SLD-PQ alongside AL, in line with WHO recommendations, is advised to enhance post-treatment transmission blocking, with continued surveillance.
