1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundChildhood malnutrition is well estimated as the major underlying risk factor for morbidity and mortality in children under 5 years. Feeding practices greatly influence the dietary condition of children aged 6-23 months in developing countries. Therefore, this study was performed to determine the association between infant young children feeding (IYCF) practices and the dietary conditions of children aged 6-23 months in Ethiopia.

methodA cross-sectional study was conducted based on data on 5638 children aged 6-23 months from three Ethiopia Demographic and Health Surveys (EDHS) (2005, 2011, 2016). Multivariable logistic regression was performed to estimate the odd ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of stunting and anaemia with IYCF practices.

resultThe prevalence of stunting among children aged 6-23 months in Ethiopia decreased greatly from 49% in 2005 to 32% in 2016. Among the IYCF practices, consumption of iron-rich foods, minimum dietary diversity (MDD), and minimum acceptable diet (MAD) were significant predictors of stunting. In addition, the prevalence of anaemia declined significantly from 26% in 2005 to 16% in 2011, but increased to 29% in 2016. Among the IYCF practices, breastfeeding and minimum meal frequency (MMF) had lower odds of childhood anaemia.

conclusionsThe present study showed that anaemia and stunting among children aged 6-23 months in Ethiopia is critical public health problems that need urgent attention.
