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

Use of zooprophylaxis as a malaria control strategy has been recommended historically, but a complex relationship exists between animal ownership and malaria infection, with mixed associations described in the literature. We sought to characterize this relationship spatially and temporally in malaria-endemic regions of Africa. We used data from 392,843 individuals from 66 Demographic and Health surveys from countries within Africa to investigate the association between household animal ownership and
