Impact of Control Interventions on Malaria Incidence in the General Population of Mali.
Article in Journal of epidemiology and global health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe increase in malaria incidence and the reduction of funding for malaria control have highlighted the need to step up efforts in the fight against malaria in Mali. To further refine the malaria control strategy implemented in the country, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of control interventions at the health district level on malaria incidence in the general population.
methodMalaria, rainfall, and intervention data were collected for the 75 health districts of Mali for the period from April 2017 to March 2022. The impact of the different control interventions on malaria incidence in the general population was assessed at the health district level with a Generalized Additive Mixed Model considering rainfall.
resultsAlthough coverage rates varied widely between health districts, most interventions showed an improvement in coverage over the study period. Two interventions had a small impact on incidence: long-lasting insecticidal net mass distribution (LLIN), with a reduction rate of 2.2 ‰ for an adjusted coverage rate from 30.0 to 79.0% (odds ratio (OR): 0.998; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.997-0.999), and seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC), with a reduction rate of 1.9 ‰ for an adjusted coverage rate from 30.0 to 80.0% (OR: 0.9979; 95% CI 0.996-0.998).
conclusionThe analysis found a small impact of LLIN and SMC on malaria incidence at the district level. Malaria control should be reinforced by improving coverage and utilization rates in the general population and in the most vulnerable groups and by deploying larger numbers of community health workers where needed.
