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 pathogenesis involves complex immunopathological mechanisms that hinder early diagnosis and effective treatment. This study integrates multi-omics data and experimental models to identify host-derived biomarkers and elucidate their functional roles. By combining human transcriptomic datasets, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), and machine learning (LASSO, SVM, RF), we identified C1QB as a key hub gene. In human data, C1QB was significantly upregulated in both training and validation cohorts (AUC 0.983 and 0.970). Single-gene GSEA and immune infiltration analyses linked C1QB to apoptosis, inflammation, and altered immune cell composition, including increased activated dendritic cells and neutrophils, and decreased naïve B cells and CD8
