Prevalence and determinants of nutritional anaemia among pregnant women in the Sibu Sire District, Western Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesThis study aims to evaluate the prevalence of nutritional anaemia and identify its associated factors among pregnant women in the Sibu Sire District, Western Ethiopia.
designA facility-based cross-sectional study.
settingPublic health centres in the Sibu Sire District, Western Ethiopia.
participantsA total of 422 pregnant women attending antenatal care services between February and July 2023. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was the prevalence of nutritional anaemia, determined by haemoglobin concentration. Secondary outcomes included the relationship between nutritional anaemia and factors such as household size, maternal nutritional status (mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC)) and dietary diversity.
resultsNutritional anaemia was prevalent in 45.7% of the study participants. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed significant associations between anaemia and household size (adjusted OR (AOR) = 1.43; 95% CI 1.05 to 1.94), poor maternal nutritional status (MUAC <23 cm, AOR=7.01; 95% CI 4.35 to 11.30) and low dietary diversity (AOR=3.58; 95% CI 1.79 to 7.17).
conclusionsNutritional anaemia remains a significant public health issue among pregnant women in the Sibu Sire District, affecting nearly half of the study population. The findings underscore the critical influence of household size, maternal nutritional status and dietary diversity on anaemia risk during pregnancy. Addressing these modifiable factors through comprehensive antenatal nutrition programmes, community-based education and targeted interventions may improve maternal and fetal health outcomes in resource-limited settings.
