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

Low dietary diversity (LDD) is prevalent among vulnerable populations, posing a morbidity risk. Few studies have been conducted on the dietary diversity of migrants. The objectives of this study are to determine the prevalence of LDD among migrants in Morocco and the risk factors associated with it. In the Oriental region, we conducted a cross-sectional study with migrants between November and December 2021. The sampling method used was convenience sampling. A face-to-face, structured questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical data. We calculated a dietary diversity score based on a 24-h food recall and assessed food intake. The risk factors associated with LDD were identified using multivariate logistic regression. A total of 445 migrants was enrolled. The prevalence of LDD was 31.7%. Risk factors associated with LDD were: being homeless (adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) of 6.32; CI% [3.55-11.25]), a lack of social support (AOR of 2.30; CI% [1.33-03.98]), and low monthly income (AOR of 8.21; CI% [3.39-19.85]). Public policies must focus on social and environmental determinants. Nutrition training programs should be set up for the migrant population.
