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 diagnosis in Equatorial Guinea (EG) is based on conventional microscopy, sometimes combined with rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs). However, some laboratories, such as the Baney Research Laboratory (BRL) have implemented molecular technology for the diagnosis of infectious diseases. This study aimed to evaluate, for the first time in EG, a LAMP method for malaria diagnosis, comparing its performance with conventional microscopy performed in EG and with LAMP and PCR diagnostic methods performed at the National Centre of Tropical Medicine (NCTM), Spain. A total of 178 blood samples (including
