Outcomes and factors associated with severe malaria-related anaemia in paediatric patients in northern Nigeria.
Article in Ghana medical journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: To determine the prevalence of anaemia, clinical features, hospitalisation outcomes, and associated factors among paediatric patients with severe malaria-related anaemia admitted to a tertiary hospital in northwestern Nigeria. Design: This was a retrospective study of children with confirmed severe malaria-related anaemia admitted between 2019 and 2022. Participants: Paediatric patients aged three months to 14 years with confirmed severe malaria-related anaemia. Main outcomes measures: Hospitalization outcomes and associated factors among paediatric study patients. Results: There were 278 malaria-related anaemia cases with a prevalence of 29.3% (278/948) among malaria cases and 3.4% (278/8,295) among all paediatric admissions. Of 278 patients with malaria-related anaemia, 110 (39.6%) had severe anaemia. The prevalence of severe anaemia was 11.6% (110/948) and 1.3% (110/8,295) from malaria cases and paediatric admissions, respectively. Clinical features were comparable across the levels of anaemia except for the loss of consciousness (p = 0.038). Severe anaemia was more common among under-fives (76/159, 47.8%), Conclusion: In childhood, severe malaria anaemia remains a greater burden among under five and is associated with high mortality. Unconsciousness and hypoxemia at presentation and the first 24 hours of admission were associated with increased odds of death. Funding: None declared.
