Risk factors for undernutrition among children 0-59 months of age in Myanmar.
Article in Maternal & child nutrition, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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 prevalence of childhood stunting in Myanmar is one of the highest among the countries of Southeast Asia. Cross-sectional data from the Myanmar Demographic Health Survey 2015-2016 were used to examine risk factors for stunting, wasting, and underweight among children aged 0-59 months. The prevalence of stunting, wasting, and underweight was 29.0%, 7.3%, and 19.2%, respectively. Accounting for sampling design and weights, multivariable logistic regression was conducted with 35 household, maternal, and child characteristics. Current pregnancy and maternal height <145 cm, home delivery, child's small birth size recalled by mother, and older age (ref: 0-5 months) predicted both stunting and underweight. Larger than average birth size was protective for all stunting, wasting, and underweight. Maternal body mass index <18.5 kg m
