Intelligent automation cognitive system for accurate malaria diagnosis using digital blood smears.
Article in PloS one, 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
Malaria is a potentially fatal illness caused by a parasite of the genus Plasmodium that humans get by being bitten by female Anopheles mosquitoes carrying the infection. The incidence of malaria worldwide is disproportionately high in the African continent. Automated systems and cognitive analysis of digitized images of blood smears were used to diagnose Plasmodium malaria. This method is implemented in the Aidos intelligent system, which is easily accessible online. For the study, the database included images of 191 blood smears of patients infected with malaria and 227 images of blood samples from healthy patients. The images were digitized using the method developed by Professor Lutsenko E.V. The images were digitized for 12 light spectra. Then, spectral analysis of the blood smear images was carried out only for 18 new patients, and the duration was 10 seconds. The average similarity value of Plasmodium malaria recognition in patients was achieved at 66.965%. No false positive decisions were obtained for digitalized blood smears from healthy patients. The automated system-cognitive analysis of digitized blood smears provides instant diagnostic support. It allows medical workers with limited knowledge in microscopy and artificial intelligence to perform diagnostics.
