The impact of the malaria centre program on malaria incidence in Papua Province.
Article in Public health in practice (Oxford, England), 2025. 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
Objective: The goal of eliminating malaria in Indonesia by 2030 faces significant challenges, particularly due to the stagnation of malaria cases in recent years. This issue is exacerbated by the high concentration of cases in Eastern Indonesia, with Papua Province alone contributing to 86 % of the national malaria cases. To address this, the Malaria Centre Programme has been implemented to eradicate malaria in highly endemic regions. This study aims to evaluate the impact of the malaria centre program on the prevalence of malaria in Papua. Study design: a mixed-method approach. Method: First, fixed effects analysis effectively evaluates program impacts shaped by pre-existing attributes. Second, in-depth interviews help identify potential impacts, analyze mechanisms, and assess benefits to beneficiaries. Result: The findings indicate that the malaria centre program has successfully reduced the annual parasite incidence (API) in Papua Province by 31.81 cases per 1000 population. Additionally, controlling for healthcare facilities, especially the ratio of community health centres, significantly lowers malaria incidence by 430.695 cases. However, the availability of hospitals does not significantly impact malaria incidence in the province. Conclusion: The malaria centre program has had a significant impact on reducing malaria incidence in Papua Province. Implementing the program has effectively lowered malaria cases in several regencies, including Keerom, Nabire, Boven Digoel, and Jayapura.
