Prevalence and associated factors of acute diarrhea among under-five children in Kamashi district, western Ethiopia: community-based study.

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
backgroundDiarrheal diseases are the second major cause of death among under-five children globally. It kills about 2.5 million people each year, with 60-70% of them being children under 5 years of age. It is also the second leading cause of morbidity in Ethiopia, with Benishangul Gumuz region bearing burden the highest with 169/1000 under five. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of acute diarrhea among under 5 years of age children in Kamashi district, western Ethiopia, 2018.
methodA community based cross-sectional study design was used. A two-stage systematic random sampling technique was used to select 8 kebeles and 717 study units. Binary logistic regression model to identify the association between dependent and independent variables.
resultsThe prevalence of acute diarrhea was 14.5% (95% CI: (12.3, 17.3%)). Poor latrine hygiene (AOR = 11.48, 95%CI: 5.64-23.35)), had no handwashing facilities near latrines (AOR = 7.07, 95%CI:3.84-13.03), poor handwashing practice at a critical time (AOR = 5.92, 95%CI: 2.58-13.70), who stored water at home in Jerricans (AOR = 8.6, 95%CI: 1.51-48.84) and complementary feeding before 6 months (AOR = 6.49, 95%CI: 2.01-20.96) had a significant association with acute diarrhea.
conclusionThe prevalence of acute diarrhea was still high. Latrine cleanness, availability of handwashing facilities around latrine, hand washing practice at the critical time for handwashing, storage of water by "Jerrican" and time of initiation of supplementary food were the determinant factors of diarrheal diseases.
