Determinants of Knowledge of Malaria Prevention Among Women of Reproductive Age 15-49 Years in Nigeria.
Review in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. 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
Background: Despite ongoing malaria control efforts in Nigeria, malaria prevalence remains high. Knowledge of malaria prevention among women of reproductive age is critical for national elimination strategies. This study examined determinants of knowledge of malaria prevention methods among Nigerian women aged 15-49 years. Methodology: Data from 14,476 women in the 2021 Nigeria Malaria Indicator Survey (NMIS) were analysed using SPSS version 29. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted toidentify determinants of malaria prevention knowledge. Variables with p ≤ 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Most women (80.2%) had knowledge of at least one malaria prevention method; 19.8% had none. Knowledge increased with education: primary (AOR=1.27, 95% CI:1.12-1.45), secondary (AOR=1.97, 95% CI:1.71-2.26), and tertiary (AOR=4.42, 95% CI:3.48-5.61). Women exposed to mass media (AOR=2.41, 95% CI:2.22-2.62) and from wealthier households (average AOR=1.25, 95% CI:1.11-1.41; rich AOR=1.90, 95% CI:1.63-2.22) were more likely to have knowledge than those without exposure and from poor households. Women of Islamic (AOR = 0.78, 95% CI: 0.63-0.97) and those of traditionalist religion were less likely to have knowledge than Catholics. Knowledge of malaria prevention also varied by age and geopolitical zone but did not differ by urban-rural residence (AOR = 0.98; 95% CI: 0.87-1.09). Conclusion: Malaria prevention programmes should target education-based, age-specific, wealth-sensitive, and regionally tailored interventions, leveraging mass media and community platforms. The 19.8% of women lacking any knowledge should be given attention to ensure equitable awareness and support national malaria elimination efforts.
