Mini-review and situation report on the role and usefulness of nuclear medicine imaging for malaria.
Review in European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, 2026. 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
Malaria remains one of the deadliest parasitic diseases globally. Delay or failure in treatment can lead to the development of severe malaria. Severe malaria, an understudied multisystem disease, affects the host's organs and can lead to several syndromes and serious complications, some effecting life-long neurological and cognitive sequela. There is a lack in knowledge regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying severe malaria pathogenesis, and research has mostly relied on post-mortem studies and animal models, both of which lack translatability to human malaria. This review presents the clinical nuclear imaging techniques used in malaria. Although the presented radiopharmaceuticals have added value to understand some aspects of severe malaria, there has been in stagnation in development of more malaria-specific radiopharmaceuticals. This manuscript highlights the current limitations for implementing improved radiopharmaceuticals and provides valuable insights on how these challenges can be overcome.
