Associations Between Climate-Sensitive Nutrients, Clinical Malaria, and Anaemia Among Young Children in Rural Burkina Faso: An Analysis of Baseline Data From a Cluster-Randomised Controlled Trial.

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
objectiveMalaria and anaemia are significant public health challenges among young children in Burkina Faso, with complex interactions between climate variability, food security, and nutrient deficiencies. This study aimed to identify the malariometric profile and nutrient patterns among young children and to determine the associations of nutrient patterns with clinical malaria and anaemia.
methodsThis cross-sectional study recruited 701 children aged 6-23 months in Nouna, Burkina Faso. Dietary intakes were collected using a semi-quantitative Food Propensity Questionnaire. Principal Component Analysis was used to derive nutrient patterns. We calculated logistic regressions for the associations of nutrient patterns with clinical malaria (Plasmodium species with fever (≥ 37.5°C) or a history of fever within the last 2 weeks or prescribed anti-malaria medication) and anaemia (Hb < 11 g/dL).
resultsIn this study population (n = 452; median age: 17 months (interquartile range: 12, 21); male sex: 52%), 25.0% of the children had clinical malaria, and 88.5% had anaemia. Adherence to a 'fat and vitamin A' dietary pattern was inversely associated with the chance of clinical malaria (OR quintile 3 vs. quintile 1: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.26, 0.96) but not with anaemia. A 'fibre and micronutrient' pattern was neither associated with malaria nor with anaemia.
conclusionAnaemia is common in this malaria-endemic area, and diets characterised by fat and vitamin A may reduce the risk of clinical malaria in young children. This highlights the need for comprehensive management strategies addressing both malaria and anaemia, including community-based educational interventions to enhance complementary feeding practices in malaria-endemic regions.
