Admission haemoglobin and albumin as correlates of central nervous system inflammation in
Article in Journal of public health in Africa, 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
Background: Aim: This study aimed to evaluate routine admission clinical and laboratory measures as correlates of cerebrospinal-fluid white-cell count and to describe changes in this count during early hospital care. Setting: The study was conducted at Rumphi District Hospital, a public secondary-level treatment facility serving rural communities in the Vwaza Marsh focus of northern Malawi. Methods: We retrospectively studied patients aged ≥ 6 years with parasitological confirmed Results: Forty-three patients met the eligibility criteria; 43 contributed admission counts, and 42 contributed Day-11 counts. Day-11 cerebrospinal-fluid white-cell counts were 75% lower than admission counts (aIRR = 0.25, 95% CI: 0.14-0.45; Conclusion: Lower haemoglobin and albumin were associated with greater cerebrospinal-fluid inflammation, which declined during early care. As accessible admission measures, they may support recognition, triage and monitoring of CNS burden in Contribution: This study links routine blood measures to cerebrospinal-fluid inflammation in
