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

Introduction: Malaria remains a major health problem in sub-Saharan Africa. Malaria burden may vary according to different settings in a city. We aim to describe malaria epidemiology in urban and suburban areas in Bamako, capital of Mali. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in children and adults seeking care with febrile illnesses in urban and suburban community health centers in Bamako. The Community Health Care Center (CScom) of Dravéla in urban setting and the Confessional Health Center of Nafadji in suburban setting were selected. In Dravéla, participants of all age categories with fever (or a history of fever) were enrolled. In Nafadji, children of 0-59 months old, with fever (or a history of fever in the last 24 h), were enrolled. In addition to clinical signs and parasitological, sociodemographic parameters were also assessed. Results: Conclusion: Our results suggest that malaria is the main cause of fever and morbidity in peri-urban and urban areas of Bamako. The impregnated mosquito nets were less frequently used in the suburban area. In Bamako, during the dry season, malaria transmission is high; control efforts and tools should be maintained during that period.
