Long Lasting Insecticide-Treated Nets Utilization and Associated Factors Among Pregnant Women in Shebel Berenta District, Northwest Ethiopia.
Article in Environmental health insights, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: Insecticide-treated bed nets are cost-effective vector control methods for malaria prevention. Malaria during pregnancy poses a significant health problem in Ethiopia. This study aimed to assess insecticide-treated nets utilization and associated factors among pregnant women in Shebel Berenta District, Northwest Ethiopia. Objective: To assess insecticide-treated bed nets utilization and associated factors among pregnant women in Shebel Berenta District, Northwest Ethiopia, in 2023. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 15 to April 30, 2023, on 505 randomly selected pregnant women. Data were collected using a pre-tested structured questionnaire and observational checklist, analyzed with EpiData 3.1 and SPSS 25. Significant factors associated with long-lasting insecticide-treated nets were identified (P < .05, 95% CI) and were reported as statistically significant factors associated with the utilization of insecticide-treated bed nets. Results: The utilization of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets was 45.10% [95% CI: 40.5%-49.2%]. Mothers who had antenatal care follow-up (AOR = 3.359; 95%CI: 1.829, 6.166), mothers with illiterate educational status (AOR = 0.196; 95%CI: 0.064-0.603), and mothers who had received information (message) (AOR = 8.102; 95%CI: 3.942-16.653) were significantly associated with long lasting insecticide-treated net utilization. Conclusion: Utilization of long lasting insecticide-treated nets by pregnant women was 45.1%, which was lower than the WHO standard. Attending antenatal care, receiving information (messages) about malaria and long lasting insecticide-treated net, and mother's being literate had a substantial impact on long lasting insecticide-treated net utilization. Therefore, efforts should be made to strengthen ANC service, health information and women's educational status to increase utilization of long lasting insecticide-treated nets.
