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

backgroundConcurrent anaemia and stunting (CAS) pose severe public health risks in low- and middle-income countries, affecting child health and development.

objectivesTo determine trends in CAS prevalence and associated factors among infants and young children aged 6-23 months in Rwanda.

methodsAnalyses of nationally representative samples from the Rwanda Demographic and Health Surveys (RDHS) of 2010, 2014/15, and 2019/20 were conducted. Participants' characteristics, trends, and prevalence of CAS were analysed using frequencies and percentages. Multivariable binary logistic regression analyses were used to assess factors associated with CAS.

resultsThe prevalence of CAS among children aged 6-23 months in Rwanda declined from 21.3% in 2010 to 16.9% in 2019/20 (

conclusionsThis study reveals persistent CAS among infants and young children in Rwanda. CAS was associated with various child, maternal, and household-related factors. Despite a notable decline in CAS prevalence in Rwanda over the past decade, CAS remains a significant public health issue, requiring targeted interventions.
