Modelling child anaemia and co-existing infections using log-linear models.
Review in Malaria journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundUganda grapples with a considerable anaemia-malaria-fever burden, reporting approximate prevalence rates as high as 33%, 34%, and 37% in specific regions. In recent years, attempts have been made by the Ministry of Health to address the combined burden of the characterized conditions of these illnesses. However, the relationship between malaria, fever, and anaemia has not been well characterized among young children living in many communities. By employing log-linear models, this study aims to examine patterns and associations between malaria, fever, and child anaemia in Uganda while controlling for maternal anaemia.
methodsUtilizing secondary data from the 2018-2019 Uganda Malaria Indicator Survey (MIS), the study focused on children aged 0-60 months. The sample included 7,124 children selected through a two-stage sampling process involving clusters and households. Five log linear models, namely; saturated, mutual independence, joint independence, conditional independence and homogenous models were fitted. The saturated model was used as the reference model.

conclusionThis study underscores the interconnectedness of malaria, fever, and anaemia in Ugandan children, with maternal anaemia serving as a critical contextual factor. Using log-linear modelling, uncovered patterns and interactions that highlight how these conditions influence one another, emphasizing the value of integrated interventions. Targeted approaches that address maternal health, enhance malaria prevention, and provide nutritional support are essential to reducing the syndemic burden of these conditions in Uganda.
