Children's Characteristics as the Predictors of Stunting among Children Under 2 Years in East Nusa Tenggara in Indonesia.
Article in Indian journal of community medicine : official publication of Indian Association of Preventive & Social Medicine. 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
Background: East Nusa Tenggara is a province in the east of Indonesia with a relatively high stunting proportion than other provinces. This situation is exacerbated by the poverty that characterizes the people of this region. The study analyzes children's characteristics related to stunting among children under 2 years in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Methods: The cross-sectional study examined 3,134 children under 2 years. Besides nutritional status (stature), the study analyzed five children's characteristics as exposure variables (birth weight, birth length, early initiation of breastfeeding, gender, and age) and six control variables (residence, maternal age, marital, maternal education, employment, wealth). We employed a binary logistic regression test in the last step. Results: Low-birth-weight children are 1.970 times more likely than normal children to experience stunting [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.905-2.037]. Children with short birth lengths are 1.373 times more likely than those with standard measurements to be stunted (95% CI 1.331-1.417). On the other hand, children without early initiation of breastfeeding are 1.034 times more likely than those with early initiation of breastfeeding (95% CI 1.013-1.057). Meanwhile, a boy is 1.426 times more likely to be stunted than a girl to experience stunting (95% CI 1.397-1.456). Moreover, based on children's age, 12-23 are 3.435 times more likely than those ≤12 to be stunted (95% CI 3.360-2.513). Conclusion: The study concluded that five children's characteristics were related to the stunting incidence in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia: birth weight, birth length, early breastfeeding initiation, gender, and age.
