Magnitude of Stunting and Associated Factors among Adolescent Students in Legehida District, Northeast Ethiopia.
Article in Journal of nutrition and metabolism, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundUndernutrition including stunting particularly at an adolescent stage was not emphasized by various intervention strategies in the Ethiopian context. Assessing the magnitude and potential risk factors of undernutrition is thus helpful for policymakers to design appropriate intervention strategies. Hence, this study was aimed at assessing the magnitude of stunting and associated factors among adolescent students in Legehida district, Northeast Ethiopia.
methodsA school-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 424 adolescent students from February 15
resultsA total of 406 adolescent students (with a response rate of 95.7%) participated in the study. The magnitude of stunting among adolescent students in this study was 24.9% (95% CI: 24.6%-35.3%).
conclusionsStunting among adolescent students was significantly associated with being male [AOR = 2.1; 95% CI: 1.73-5.90], meal frequency (<3/day) [AOR = 4.6; 95% CI: 2.61-8.24], infrequent handwashing practice [AOR = 3.6; 95% CI: 1.30-9.40], absence of latrine facility (AOR = 5.51; 95% CI: 3.03-9.9), and consumption of unsafe water [AOR = 2.8; 95% CI: 1.35-6.19]. Hence, conducting routine nutrition screenings and assessments, promotion of proper food intake, and emphasis on nutrition education and counseling are needed to be strengthened.
