Analysis of Different Prognostic Indicators for Malnutrition and Shigella flexneri Infection Among the Children in Bangladesh.
Article in Indian journal of microbiology, 2012. 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
The present study investigates into some socio-economic, demographic, and nutritional features that can predispose Bangladeshi children to malnutrition and Shigella flexneri infection. Significant prognostic indicators associated with malnutrition were mother's illiteracy (unadjusted odds ratio, OR = 2.580; 95% confidence interval, CI = 1.134-5.867 and adjusted odds ratio, ORa, 3.814; 95% CI = 1.124-12.943), low birth weight (OR = 3.143; 95% CI = 1.2-8.232 and ORa = 2.404; 95% CI = 0.870-6.644) and poor socioeconomic status (OR = 2.549; 95% CI = 1.382-4.701 and ORa = 1.808; 95% CI = 0.852-3.838). Age was the strongest predictor for the acquisition of S. flexneri infection in the studied population (OR = 5.472; 95% CI = 2.583-11.592 and ORa = 5.808; 95% CI = 2.420-13.942). The severity of malnutrition was significantly (P = 0.033) related to seroprevalence of S. flexneri infection. To reduce malnutrition emphasis should be given on controlling the incidence of low birth weight, improving the literacy status especially of mothers and narrowing the gap between different socio-economic levels. Malnourished children should be examined for severity and direct intervention therapy should be given when necessary.
