House-wall modification after indoor residual spraying in Shashogo district, southern Ethiopia.
Article in Malaria journal, 2023. 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
backgroundIndoor residual spraying has been a key national malaria prevention and control strategy in Ethiopia. However, there is a gap in monitoring and evaluation of house-wall modification after indoor residual spraying before the end of residual lifespan. This study has determined the prevalence of house-wall modification after indoor residual spraying and identified the associated factors in Shashogo district, southern Ethiopia.
methodsA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April to May 2022. Data were collected from 640 randomly selected households using a pre-tested questionnaire and an observational checklist. The binary logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with house-wall modification after indoor residual spraying before the end of the potency period.
resultsThe prevalence of house-wall modification after indoor residual spraying was found to be 30.4% (95% CI 27.4-34.2%). Educational status of could not read and write [AOR = 1.76, 95% CI (1.16, 2.68)], monthly income of more than birr 3000 [AOR = 3.27, 95% CI (1.78, 6.01)], low level of knowledge about indoor residual spraying [AOR = 3.81, 95% CI (2.39, 6.06)], lack of information within two weeks before spraying [AOR = 2.23, 95% CI (1.44, 3.46)], absence of supervision after spraying [AOR = 1.79, 95% CI (1.14, 2.81)], absence of stagnant water near house [AOR = 3.36, 95% CI (2.13, 5.39)], and thatched roof [AOR = 1.82, 95% CI (1.04, 3.16)] were factors significantly associated with house-wall modification after indoor residual spraying.
conclusionThis study has revealed that the prevalence of house-wall modification after indoor residual spraying before the end of the residual lifespan in the study area was higher compared to other studies in developing countries. Therefore, special emphasis should be given to providing community education about indoor residual spraying, conducting regular supervision before and after residual spraying, enforcing some legislative strategies for modifying the house-wall before six months after spraying, and improving environmental and housing conditions.
