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

backgroundMalnutrition is a critical public health issue that has been related to a significant increase in mortality and morbidity rates. Despite the fact that children are expected to benefit from home gardening products, their nutritional condition in Ethiopia, particularly in the planned study region, is not thoroughly monitored. Therefore the purpose of this is to determine the nutritional status of 6-59 months of age children between households with and without home gardening practices at Zege.

methodsA community based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted among paired mothers with 6-59 month children from February to March 2020. Data were collected using questionnaire and anthropometric measurement tools. Binary logistic regression models were used. A-p-value < 0.05 was used as cutoff point to declare statistically significant variables with the outcome variable.

resultStunting and wasting among children aged 6-59 months was high and did not show significant variation between households practicing home gardening (stunting 46.1%, at 95%, CI: 40.6-51.3 and wasting 9.1%, at 95% CI: 6.2-12.7) and not practiced home gardening (stunting 50.3%, at 95% CI: 44.5-55.8 and wasting 10.1%, 95% CI: 6.8-13.8). Having low dietary diversity (AOR = 2.7; 95% CI: 1.9-3.9), Being male (AOR = 2.1; 95% CI: 1.4-3), feeding frequency < 3/day (AOR = 1.7; 95% CI: 1.1-2.4), and presence of diarrhea (AOR = 2.6; 95% CI: 1.4-4.6) were predictors of stunting. Unprotected-drinking water (AOR = 2.1; 95% CI: 1.0-4.2), not fully-immunized (AOR = 2.6; 95% CI: 1.3-5.1) and being female (AOR = 2.4; 95% CI: 1.3-4.6) were predictors for child wasting.

conclusionstunting and wasting are highly prevalent in both home gardening and non- home gardening households' children of the community. Promoting diversified diet, protected water source, vaccinating children, access to a healthy environment and integrated with the access of nutrition education programs are vital interventions to improve nutrition.
