Does the high dietary diversity score predict dietary micronutrients adequacy in children under 5 years old? A systematic review.
Synthesis in Journal of health, population, and nutrition, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
backgroundsUndiversified and monotonous diets can lead to deficiency disease, named micronutrient deficiency, more specifically among young children. Dietary diversity (DD) has been known as a valid indicator to assess micronutrient inadequacy of the diet. The aim of this study was to determine "is there an association between high dietary diversity and the micronutrient adequacy, in children under 5 years old?".
methodsPubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Sciences, and Google Scholar databases were searched until February 2022, without date restrictions, using relevant keywords. All original articles, written in English, evaluating the relationship between DD and micronutrient adequacy in children under 5 years were eligible for this review.
resultsTotally, 1814 records were found in electronic search databases; after removing duplicated and irrelevant studies according to the title and abstract, the full text of the 35 articles was critically screened, in which 15 cross-sectional studies were included in this review. All of these studies reported that DD of infants and children under 5 years was positively associated with their micronutrient adequacy.
conclusionThe findings indicate that in infants and children under 5 years, intake of various food groups reveals the adequate intake of micronutrients.
