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

Malaria remains a significant public health challenge in Bangladesh with ongoing transmission driven primarily by Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax. Understanding its current prevalence and parasite distribution is essential for guiding control and elimination strategies. This study aims to estimate the pooled prevalence of malaria and its major parasite species across the country. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Science Direct, EMBASE and Google Scholar for studies published between 2005 to 2025. Eligible studies were assessed for quality using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) tool. Pooled prevalence estimates were calculated using random-effects models while heterogeneity and inconsistencies were evaluated using the I
