Mother-child dyads double burden of malnutrition and associated factors in Burkina Faso.
Article in Public health nutrition, 2026. 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
objectiveThis study aimed to determine the prevalence of mother-child double burden of malnutrition (DBM) based on anthropometric indices and its associated factors in Burkina Faso.
designThis cross-sectional study used nationally representative data from the 2021 Burkina Faso Demographic and Health Survey (BFDHS-V). DBM was defined as follows: overweight mother with stunted child (OM/SC); overweight mother with wasted child (OM/WC); overweight mother with underweight child (OM/UC); overweight mother with stunted or wasted or underweight child (OM/SC-WC-UC). Generalised linear model of regression using R programming was performed to identify factors associated with DBM.
settingBurkina Faso.
participants5286 mother-child dyads living in the same household.
resultsThe prevalence of DBM in mother-child dyads was 4·9 % for OM/SC-WC-UC. Urban residence was inversely associated with 3 forms of dyads DBM. OM/SC-WC-UC: aOR = 0·60, 95 % CI (0·37, 0·96), OM/WC: aOR = 0·23, 95 % CI (0·11, 0·45), and OM/UC: aOR = 0·51, 95 % CI (0·29, 0·89). Higher child birth order was associated with increased odds of OM/WC: aOR = 3·82, 95 % CI (1·21, 12·10) and OM/UC: aOR = 4·75, 95 % CI (1·65-13·62). Older maternal age was associated with OM/SC: aOR = 3·17, 95 % CI (1·44, 7·00) and belonging to a wealthier household was associated with OM/SC-WC-UC: aOR = 3·43, 95 % CI (1·61, 7·30).
conclusionsThe finding suggests that household-level DBM is an emerging problem in Burkina Faso. The most prevalent form of DBM includes an overweight mother with a stunted child, and common associated factors include urban residence and high socio-economic status. Urgent strategies and actions need to be put in place in order to avert this trend.
