Maternal dietary diversity increases with women's high decision-making autonomy in Northwest Ethiopia, 2022.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Background: Dietary diversification is one of several approaches for improving micronutrient levels in women of reproductive age. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the magnitude of minimum dietary diversity among pregnant women, explore the association between women's decision-making autonomy and dietary diversity, and identify other potential determinants of dietary diversity in Northwest Ethiopia. Method: A community-based cross-sectional study of 621 pregnant women was conducted from November 2022 to December 2022. A cluster random sampling technique was employed. A binary logistic regression model was used to explore the association between dietary diversity and women's decision-making autonomy. Adjusted odds ratios with 95 % CIs were estimated to identify factors associated with the dietary diversity of pregnant women, and they were considered to be statistically significant at a Results: The minimum dietary diversity among pregnant women was 22.4 %. The study revealed a significant association between dietary diversity and women's decision-making autonomy (AOR: 2.82, 95 % CI: 1.73, 4.59; p value: 0.001). Primary education and above (AOR = 4.0, CI: 2.1, 7.67), monthly income 1000-2000 ETB (AOR = 4.46, CI: 2.53, 7.87) and >2000 ETB (AOR = 6.05, CI: 3.16, 11.59), having nutritional information (AOR = 2.15, CI: 1.32, 3.51), being food secure (AOR = 2.63, CI:1.6, 4.34), morbidity status (AOR: 0.278, CI: 0.14, 0.56), ANC visits one time (AOR = 2.08, CI = 1.003, 4.33) and two or three times (AOR = 2.45, CI: 1.15, 5.24) were potential predictors of pregnant women's dietary diversity. Conclusion: Maternal dietary diversity was significantly associated with women's decision-making autonomy. Thus, the government should strengthen women's empowerment, rights, access to education, and economic opportunities.
