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

This study estimated the prevalence and determinants of zero vegetable and fruit (ZVF) consumption among children aged 6-23 months, using data from the 2019 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey, Bangladesh (n=6668). The prevalence of ZVF was 44.1%. Lower odds of ZVF were observed among older children and those whose mothers had higher levels of education, media exposure or belonged to wealthier households. In contrast, children with recent illnesses and urban residents had higher odds of ZVF. Targeted interventions for younger and socioeconomically disadvantaged children, alongside maternal nutrition education, are essential to promote fruit and vegetable intake in early childhood.
