Prevalence and determinants of malnutrition among primary school going children in the haor areas of Kishoreganj district of Bangladesh.
Article in Heliyon, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectivesThe objectives of this study were to assess the prevalence of malnutrition (stunting, wasting, underweight) among primary school going children in
designThe study was conducted in the
resultsAround half (48%) of the total children analysed were wasted at the time of the survey following around 40.5% were underweight and 38% were stunted. The likelihoods of occurring stunting, wasting and underweight were found higher among female children than their male counterpart. The prevalence of stunting, wasting and underweight were 39%, 54% and 45% among girls whereas the prevalence was 36%, 42% and 36% among the boys, respectively. The likelihoods of becoming malnourished were found to be increased with the increase ages of the children, from the ages 5-6 years. Higher the number of children in the family and delay of giving complementary food after six months were also found associated with the higher odds of becoming malnourished. In contrary, increased meal frequency, solvency with land ownership were found associated with the reduced odds of becoming malnourished.
