Prevalence of malaria and factors associated with infection in children aged 6 months to 9 years in Guinea: Results from a national cross-sectional study.
Article in Parasite epidemiology and control, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
Worldwide, a child dies every two minutes due to malaria with Africa bearing about 90% of all malaria deaths particularly among children. This study aimed to describe malaria prevalence and its associated factors among children aged 6 months to 9 years in Guinea. We conducted a cross-sectional household survey between 02 and 29 August 2014 in children aged 6 months to 9 years in the four natural regions of the country. A five-level cluster sampling using the national database from the national institute of statistics was used to select study participants. A total of 1984 children aged 6 months to 9 years were enrolled. The mean age was 50 months (SD, 27). The rapid diagnostic test showed a high malaria prevalence (44%) countrywide along with regional variation ranging from 38% to 61%. A multivariate analysis showed that living in Forest Guinea (AOR: 2.48; 95% CI: 1.78-3.46), in rural areas (AOR: 1.91; 95% IC: 1.45-2.5) and having a splenomegaly (AOR: 2.66; 95% CI: 1.75-4.04) were highly associated with malaria. This study shows that malaria is still prevalent in Guinea among children aged 6 months to 9 years of age.
