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

Background: The Ethiopian highlands >2000 m above sea level are classified as experiencing very low malaria transmission, but clinical case numbers have increased in recent years. Transmission intensity, and how many infections are imported from the lowlands, are not known. Methods: Surveys on subclinical prevalence were conducted in 8 sites across an altitude range of <1900 to 2900 m. Samples were screened by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and microscopy or rapid diagnostic testing (RDT). Data on recent travel were collected from subclinical and clinical individuals. Result: Among 1241 subclinical individuals, Conclusions: High prevalence at altitudes up to 2800 m, and a minority of individuals reporting recent travel, might indicate sustained local transmission in the Ethiopian highlands, though undocumented travel and
