Neonatal Mortality in Burkina Faso: An Exploratory Analysis of Determinants and Geospatial Inequalities.
Article in International journal of public health, 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
Objectives: This article analyzes the factors associated with neonatal mortality in Burkina Faso, as well as the communal inequalities in this mortality. Methods: The analysis is based on data from the 2021 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). It draws on a representative sample of 7,225 children. The determinants of mortality were examined using a log-binomial regression model. For the analysis of geospatial inequalities, the Richardson method was applied to classify communes according to their probability of achieving SDG target 3.2.2 by 2030, distinguishing areas with low, medium, and high likelihoods of attainment. Results: The analysis reveals an excess risk of neonatal mortality linked to male sex, multiple births, short birth intervals, low maternal education, and limited access to health services. According to the Richardson classification, all communes are on track to meet SDG target 3.2.2 (12‰ by 2030). However, 37 communes show higher residual risks requiring close monitoring. Conclusion: These results underline the importance of implementing multi-sectoral interventions adapted to territorial specificities in order to effectively maintain the reduction of neonatal mortality in Burkina Faso.
