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

Background: Methods: A total of 7,987 children 2-12 years of age from 3,702 unique households consented to participate. Demographic data and malaria prevention and treatment behaviours were documented. Capillary blood samples were aseptically collected and tested for Results: The Conclusion: The findings illustrate ongoing malaria transmission. Household clustering with malaria highlights the presence of hotspots in Kyarumba and Karusandara sub-counties. Targeted campaigns to enhance household ownership and usage of LLINs could further protect against malaria following severe flooding events.
