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: Malaria remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, where rates of HIV coinfection are high. This study aimed to determine whether Methodology: We conducted an observational study of non-pregnant adults, with and without HIV coinfection, admitted to the Hospital Central de Maputo for treatment of severe malaria. Results: We recruited 149 study participants aged between 18-62 years, 72 (48.3%) were female, and 59 (39.6%) were infected with HIV. Comparing clinical outcomes, we found a significant difference in anemia (hemoglobin <5 mg/dl: P-value = 0.01248) but no other predefined clinical characteristics including fever, renal dysfunction, or pulmonary edema in those with and without HIV coinfection. We found significantly higher in hospital mortality in those with HIV coinfection ( Conclusions: We find a higher mortality rate in patients with malaria-HIV coinfection, further emphasizing the importance of effective treatment for this vulnerable population. We also provide an important baseline for the rate of resistance-conferring mutations in a population at risk of harboring resistant parasites in Mozambique, highlighting the need for continued surveillance.
