Urbanization in Peru is inversely associated with double burden of malnutrition: Pooled analysis of 92,841 mother-child pairs.

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
objectiveThis study assessed the relationship between urbanization and the double burden of malnutrition (DBM) in Peru.
methodsA cross-sectional analysis of the Demographic and Health Survey (2009 to 2016) was conducted. A DBM "case" comprised a child with undernutrition and a mother with overweight/obesity. For urbanization, three indicators were used: an eight-category variable based on district-level population density (inhabitants/km
resultsThe prevalence of DBM was lower in urban than in rural areas (prevalence ratio [PR] 0.70; 95% CI: 0.65-0.75), and compared with the countryside, DBM was less prevalent in towns (PR 0.75; 95% CI: 0.69-0.82), small cities (PR 0.73; 95% CI: 0.67-0.79), and capital/large cities (PR 0.53; 95% CI: 0.46-0.61). Using population density, the adjusted prevalence of DBM was 9.7% (95% CI: 9.4%-10.1%) in low-density settings (1 to 500 inhabitants/km
conclusionsThe prevalence of DBM is higher in the least-urbanized settings such as rural and peri-urban areas, particularly those under 2,500 inhabitants/km
