Exploring the spatio-temporal variation in diarrhoea prevalence in under-five children: the case of Nigeria, 1990-2013.
Article in International journal of public health, 2019. 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
objectivesThis study (1) examines spatio-temporal variation in diarrhoea prevalence and (2) for 2013 identifies and maps the factors associated with diarrhoea prevalence at district level.
methodsData were drawn from Demographic Health Surveys (1990, 1999, 2003, 2008 and 2013). Moran index was used to analyse spatial dependence and clustering of diarrhoea prevalence in 2008 and 2013. Geographical Weighted Poisson Regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with diarrhoea prevalence for 2013.
resultsDiarrhoea prevalence was higher in rural than in urban areas. Prevalence exhibited statistically significant spatial variation, but temporal variation and spatial dependence were not significant. Locally, diarrhoea prevalence hot spots clustered among five states in the North East zone. Non-improved sanitation, children 6-23 months not breastfed, dung floor, relative poverty, unemployed mothers and Gini coefficient were main predictors of diarrhoea prevalence.
conclusionsResults of spatial analysis improved understanding of local spatio-temporal variation in diarrhoea prevalence and underlying factors. Intervention strategies should emphasize behaviour change regarding washing of hands and feeding utensils before and after feeding children, exclusive breastfeeding, safe water, improved sanitation and hygiene, particularly in hot spot states.
