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

Cerebral malaria (CM) is a severe encephalopathy caused by Plasmodium parasite infection, resulting in thousands of annual deaths and neuro-cognitive sequelae even after anti-malarial drugs treatment. Despite efforts to dissect the mechanism, the cellular transcriptomic reprogramming within the spatial context remains elusive. Here, we constructed single-cell and spatial transcriptome atlases of experimental CM (ECM) male murine brain tissues with or without artesunate (ART) treatment. We identified activated inflammatory endothelial cells during ECM, characterized by a disrupted blood-brain barrier, increased antigen presentation, and leukocyte adhesion. We also observed that inflammatory microglia enhance antigen presentation pathway such as MHC-I to CD8
