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

Objectives: Since the reemergence of malaria in 1993, approximately 600 malaria cases have been reported annually in the Republic of Korea (ROK). The World Health Organization (WHO) has designated the ROK as a priority nation for malaria elimination. To achieve domestic malaria elimination, the ROK has established and implemented the Malaria Re-elimination Action Plan, focusing on patient and vector management, control of high-risk areas, and a foundation for elimination. In particular, the regional malaria elimination certification process-implemented in countries approaching elimination-is being introduced in the ROK as a preparatory step toward national-level certification. Methods: This study was developed by integrating WHO documents on elimination readiness and procedures, the literature on national malaria elimination efforts and achievements, and the project's final report on developing a regional malaria elimination certification system. Results: In line with the national malaria elimination certification framework, documentation requirements applicable at the regional (local government) level were established. The regional certification system aims to reduce epidemiological disparities across regions, strengthen surveillance and response systems, and ensure the sustainability of preventive measures before national certification. Conclusions: To obtain malaria elimination certification from the WHO after 2030, the ROK intends to implement the regional malaria elimination certification system across all high-risk areas as part of the Second Malaria Re-elimination Action Plan, thereby establishing the foundation for national elimination.
