Malaria trends in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso (2011-2024): a retrospective laboratory-based study with implications for malaria control.

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: Malaria remains a major public health concern in Burkina Faso. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, temporal and seasonal trends, and risk factors for malaria in the urban population of Bobo-Dioulasso from 2011 to 2024, a period encompassing major phases of malaria control implementation in the country. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using data from thick and thin blood smears performed at the Parasitology-Mycology Laboratory of Centre MURAZ. Sociodemographic data, temporal data, and biological data were collected from laboratory records using a structured electronic data collection form. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify risk factors of malaria. Results: Among 17,044 samples, the overall prevalence of malaria was 11.85%, with Conclusion: These findings highlight a resurgence of urban malaria in Bobo-Dioulasso, with significantly higher odds of infection during 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 compared with 2011-2014. Strengthening epidemiological surveillance, expanding seasonal malaria chemoprevention to school-aged children, and promoting a multisectoral, integrated approach are crucial to sustain malaria control efforts in Burkina Faso.
