"Are you sure you want to go to that village"; a qualitative review of the challenges, experiences and lessons learnt from a nutritional survey in rural and urban communities in Nigeria.
Review in BMC research notes, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionThe importance of community-based studies is not in doubt, however only few exist because of the complexity and challenges associated with them. Little data exists on these complexities and challenges in West Africa. This study aimed to describe the experiences, challenges and lessons learnt from a community-based Nutritional survey carried out in Nigeria. This was a qualitative review of the experiences and challenges involved in a community-based research project. A thematic content analysis was done and the findings were presented as themes and sub-themes, with the inclusion of quotes that accurately depicted the themes/sub-themes.
resultsTwo broad themes emerged from the study. For observations and experiences with community entry, sub-themes include the finding that community structure in the books were different from community structure on the ground, there was a general mistrust among community members, poor access to some communities and/or houses, there was a poor perception of need for the research, there was concern about risk to study participants and about benefit to the participants. The five sub-themes that pertained to the data collection process include the issues with timing, gender, data quality, men being at home and safety of the research team. Guided community engagements are recommended.
