Transfusion-transmitted
Article in IDCases, 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
Transfusion-transmitted malaria (TTM) is a rare but potentially serious problem particularly in non-endemic areas. Detecting asymptomatic parasitemia is a challenge for current screening strategies, especially in countries with heterogeneous malaria endemicity such as Indonesia. We report a case of probable TTM due to Plasmodium vivax in a 75-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing regular hemodialysis in a non-endemic city, presented with a one-week history of intermittent fever, chills, myalgia, and generalized weakness, without any recent travel to malaria-endemic areas. She had received a packed red cell transfusion approximately 20 days prior to symptom onset. Peripheral blood smear demonstrated P. vivax trophozoites, confirmed by thick and thin smear microscopy. Donor tracing identified a blood donor with a history of repeated malaria vivax episodes during prior deployment in an endemic region, suggesting asymptomatic parasitemia as the likely source of transmission. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of malaria in non-endemic areas, particularly in patients with comorbidities that may obscure the typical manifestation. It also underscores the limitations of donor screening strategies currently implemented in Indonesia.
