Hygiene and food safety practices among mothers as predictors of diarrhea risk in toddlers in Purwawinangun Village, West Java, Indonesia.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: While the factors contributing to diarrhea in children are well established, more literature on the influence of food hygiene practices on diarrhea in low-socioeconomic urban communities in Indonesia is still needed. This study investigated specific risk factors for toddlers' diarrhea related to mothers' personal hygiene and food safety practices. Methods: It utilized a cross-sectional design with consecutive sampling, involving 36 mothers with toddlers in Purwawinangun Village, Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia. Hygiene and food safety practices, as well as diarrhea incidence, were assessed using a questionnaire. Results and discussion: In a bivariate analysis using Fisher's Exact Test, personal hygiene practices [prevalence rate (PR) = 3.50; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 11.454-33.696] were significantly associated ( Conclusions: The risk of diarrhea in children can be mitigated by improving mothers' hygiene behaviors and food safety practices. Mothers, especially those living in villages with limited water access, need ongoing education on the importance of food safety. To promote this practice, the local government can implement health initiatives to prevent diarrhea in children.
