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: Malaria remains a public health concern in humanitarian settings, where displacement-related living conditions, environmental exposure, limited preventive measures, and disrupted healthcare may increase vulnerability. However, evidence on laboratory-confirmed malaria and associated factors among febrile adults in Somali IDP camps is limited. This study assessed malaria positivity and associated factors among febrile adults attending screening points in selected IDP camps in Mogadishu, Somalia. Methods: A camp-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 15 January to 14 February 2026 among febrile adults attending screening points in six selected IDP camps in Mogadishu. Of 1761 participants enrolled, 1688 with complete questionnaire and laboratory data were analyzed. Data were collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire, and malaria was confirmed by microscopy of stained thick and thin blood smears. Frequencies, percentages, and cross-tabulations summarized participant characteristics and malaria positivity. Associated factors were identified using modified Poisson regression with robust variance, reporting adjusted prevalence ratios (aPRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Mixed-effects sensitivity analysis accounted for camp-level clustering. Results: Among 1688 participants, 488 tested positive for malaria (28.91%; 95% CI: 26.76-31.14%). Conclusion: Almost three in every ten febrile adults attending screening points in six selected IDP camps in Mogadishu tested positive for malaria, with
