Spatial distribution of iron rich foods consumption and its associated factors among children aged 6-23 months in Ethiopia: spatial and multilevel analysis of 2016 Ethiopian demographic and health survey.
Article in Nutrition journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
backgroundMicronutrient deficiencies are the most prevalent nutritional deficiencies that cause serious developmental problems in the globe. The aim of this study was to assess the spatial distribution of iron rich foods consumption and its associated factors among children aged 6-23 months in Ethiopia.
methodsThe data retrieved from the standard Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey 2016 dataset with a total sample size of 3055 children aged 6-23 months. Spatial scan statistics done using Kuldorff's SaTScan version 9.6 software. ArcGIS version 10.7 software used to visualize spatial distribution for poor consumption of iron rich foods. Multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression analysis employed to identify the associated factors for good consumption of iron-rich foods. Level of statistical significance was declared at a two-sided P-value < 0.05.
resultsOverall, 21.41% (95% CI: 19.9-22.9) of children aged 6-23 months had good consumption of iron rich foods in Ethiopia. Poor consumption of iron rich foods highly clustered at Southern Afar, Southeastern Amhara and Tigray, and the Northern part of Somali Regional States of Ethiopia. In spatial scan statistics, children aged 6-23 months living in the most likely cluster were 21% more likely vulnerable to poor consumption of iron rich foods than those living outside the window (RR = 1.21, P-value < 0.001). Child aged 12-17 months (AOR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.45-2.49) and 18-23 months (AOR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.55-2.73), primary (AOR = 1.42, 95% CI:1.06-1.87) and secondary and above (AOR = 2.26, 95% CI: 1.47-3.46) mother's education level, rich (AOR = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.04-2.13) and middle (AOR = 1.83, 95% CI: 1.31-2.57) household wealth status, Amhara (AOR = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.09-0.60), Afar (AOR = 0.38, 95% CI: 0.17-0.84), and Harari (AOR = 2.11, 95% CI: 1.02-4.39) regional states of Ethiopia were statistically significant factors for good consumption of iron rich foods.
conclusionOverall, the consumption of iron rich foods was low and spatially non-random in Ethiopia. Federal Ministry of Health and other stakeholders should give prior attention to the identified hot spot areas to enhance the consumption of iron rich foods among children aged 6-23 months.
