Risk factors associated with stunting incidence in under five children in Southeast Asia: a scoping review.
Article in Journal of health, population, and nutrition, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
introductionStunting or growth failure is a health problem faced by the world today, especially in developing countries, including Southeast Asia. The Southeast Asian region accounts for more than a quarter of the number of children experiencing stunting worldwide. In addition to impacting children's growth and development, mortality and morbidity rates will also affect the economies and productivity of countries in the future. RESEARCH
objectivesThis scoping review aimed to systematically map the research that has been conducted in this area and identify existing gaps in knowledge related to risk factors for stunting in the Southeast Asian region. METHODE: A scoping review was conducted using three databases: Scopus, PubMed, Embase, and one academic publisher, Taylor & Francis. The keywords used were "Children," "Risk Factors," "Stunting.". The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) studies with a population of children under five years of age, (2) studies addressing risk factors for stunting, (3) studies conducted in countries in the Southeast Asian region, (4) studies of all research types, and (5) articles published in English. Of the 2252 articles, 54 met the inclusion criteria.
resultIn this review, the risk factors associated with stunting in children under five years of age in Southeast Asia were categorized into direct, underlying, and basic factors. Direct factors include parental and child characteristics, food intake, and health. Underlying factors include the practice of providing food and access to health services and care. The basic factors causing stunting are environmental, household health, and socioeconomic factors.
conclusionsThis scoping review determined the risk factors for childhood stunting in Southeast Asia, such as attributes of the child, traits of the parent, the amount of food the child consumes, the health of the child, feeding habits, access to health services, household and environmental health, and socioeconomic status. These factors are interrelated and affect each other. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to these factors to reduce the risk of stunting among underfives in Southeast Asia.
