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

Falciparum malaria and Vivax malaria are notorious for the development of multiple complications, including acute kidney injury, acute liver injury, severe hemolysis, bone marrow suppression, severe acidosis, hypoglycemia and CNS complications. We hereby present two cases of rare complications associated with Malaria, which were managed in a resource-constrained setting in Eastern Africa. Two individuals working in the malaria endemic region of South Sudan were detected with Mixed Plasmodium falciparum-Plasmodium vivax when they reported to the hospital with acute febrile illness for two days. They were noted to have palpable hepatosplenomegaly. Both patients suffered spontaneous rupture of the spleen, leading to gross hemoperitoneum and hemodynamic instability. They were taken up for an emergency explorative laparotomy as a life-saving measure. Of the two patients, one survived following timely surgical intervention and supportive care, whereas the other succumbed despite emergency management.
