Determinants of household cooking fuels and their impact on women's health in rural Pakistan.

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
Use of biomass with traditional cooking technologies causes indoor air pollution and is responsible for 3.5 million deaths globally. Women play the main role in biomass-based energy systems in developing countries. The current study attempted to estimate determinants of household cooking fuels and impacts of fuels on women's health in rural Pakistan. The results of the study show that 75.5% of the households in the study area use fuelwood, 44.4% use LPG, and 27.9% use crop residues for cooking. Households with LPG spend on average 3.02 h/day for cooking while households with biomass spend almost 4 h. Health expenditures of households using biomass are almost 25% higher than those using LPG. Use of traditional biomass with traditional devices was found to be having negative impacts on rural women's life. Household composition, education, income, access to electricity and LPG, and distance from the market were found to be significant factors affecting the choice of fuels for cooking. Clean energy and technologies and empowerment through education and awareness will help minimize the negative impacts of biomass fuels on women.
