Editorial
Interpreting trial results to determine which malaria treatment to recommend is difficult, and this presents a challenge to health policy makers. Conventional meta-analyses are of limited help owing to malaria's unique epidemiology – resistance to new drugs is rapid and the effectiveness of treatments varies across the world. However, as David Sinclair, Piero Olliaro, and Paul Garner discuss in our editorial, innovative ways of looking at systematic review data may overcome these difficulties, and make the decision clearer.
