Dietary diversity and associated factors among adolescent girls in Nifas Silk Laphto sub city, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2021.
Article in BMC nutrition, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundAddressing the nutritional problems of adolescent girls is important as their nutritional status has a negative effect on the future generation. However, the evidence revealed the variation and unrelated data on the prevalence of dietary diversity and lack of including all adolescent age and community groups in Ethiopia. Hence, this study assessed dietary diversity and associated factors among adolescent girls in Nifas Silk Laphto Sub-city, Addis Ababa Ethiopia, 2021.
methodsA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 475 adolescent girls at Nifas Silk Laphto sub-city, Addis Ababa Ethiopia from July 1 to 30, 2021. Multistage cluster sampling was employed to select adolescent girls. Pretested questionnaires were used to collect the data. The data were checked for completeness and entered by Epidata version 3.1 and cleaned and analyzed by SPSS version 21.0. A multivariable binary logistic regression model was fitted to identify factors associated with dietary diversity scores. The degree of association was assessed using an odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval and variables with p-value ≤ 0.05 were considered significant.
resultThe mean and the standard deviation of dietary diversity scores were 4.70 and 1.21 respectively. The proportion of low dietary diversity scores among adolescent girls was 77.2%. Adolescent girls' age, meal frequency, wealth index of household, and food insecurity were significant determinants of dietary diversity score.
conclusionThe magnitude of low dietary diversity scores was significantly higher in the study area. Adolescent girls', meal frequency, wealth index, and food security status were predictors of dietary diversity score. School-based nutrition education and counseling and designing strategies for improving household food security programs are crucial.
