Factors associated with insecticide-treated mosquito nets utilization for malaria prevention in Burkina Faso: finding from cross-sectional household survey.
Article in Malaria journal, 2025. 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
backgroundThe World Health Organization recommends insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITNs) as one of the main interventions to control malaria spread. The leading driver of this intervention is use of ITN; however, socio-demographic characteristics factors, access and possession of ITN could also influence its usage. Therefore, the present study aimed to document the factors associated with using ITNs to eliminate malaria in Burkina Faso. This study's findings would be useful to the National Malaria Control Programme and other stakeholders engaged in the promotion of ITNs to fight malaria cases.
methodsData were collected from a quasi-experimental cross-sectional study in Burkina Faso. An analytical approach including a descriptive and an explanatory component was used. For the descriptive aspect of the analysis, possession, access, and use of ITNs were described. The factors associated with ITN use were assessed using univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses, with the level of significance at 5%. The data were analysed using Stata 16.1 software.
resultsThe results of the saturated model showed that the type of textile of the IBD (polyester: odds ratio OR 1.23; 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.13, 1.33]) and age of the IBD (6-11 months, OR 0.91, 95% CI [0.83, 0.997]; ≥ 12 months OR 0.52, 95% CI [0.401, 0.675]) are influential factors for the use of ITNs. On the other hand, the level of ITN possession (excessive ITNs; OR 0.66; 95% CI [0.597, 0.74]) and the household poverty quintile showed a positive correlation with the use of ITNs (mean OR 0.791, 95% CI [0.694, 0.902]; rich OR 0.656, 95% CI [0.573, 0.751], and very rich OR 0.557, 95% CI [0.484,0.641]).
conclusionThere is a strong association between ITN use, type of textile, age of ITNs and number of ITNs in possession. Strengthening health education on the benefits and importance of ITN use will improve the appropriate use of ITNs among the population of Burkina Faso.
