Influence of Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices on Growth and Micronutrient status in children 06-23 months of age: Findings from Comprehensive National Nutrition Survey 2016-2018.
Article in European journal of nutrition, 2025. 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
purposePoor Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices are major contributors to undernutrition, especially during the crucial years of development. Addressing these feeding practices is essential to prevent such negative health outcomes. This study examines the association between minimum dietary diversity, minimum acceptable diet with nutritional and micronutrient status in children aged 0-23 months.
methodsThe study used Comprehensive National Nutrition Survey (CNNS) 2016-2018 data, employing a multi-stage survey with interviews, anthropometric measurements, and biochemical indicators. The study employed independent variables representing key IYCF indicators: Minimum Dietary Diversity and Minimum Acceptable Diet. The study used multivariate logistic regression analysis to examine the relationship between Minimum Dietary Diversity and Minimum Acceptable Diet with nutritional and micronutrient status in children aged 0-23 months using adjusted odds ratios after adjusting for confounders. RESULTS AND
conclusionThe study found that only 24.9% of children met minimum dietary diversity, 44.4% met minimum meal frequency, and 12.3% received a minimum acceptable diet. Among children aged 6-23 months, meeting MDD was significantly associated with reduced odds of stunting (AOR: 0.84; 95% CI 0.72-0.97; p = 0.022) and zinc deficiency (AOR: 0.74; 95% CI 0.56-0.98; p = 0.035), but not with wasting, anemia, or iron deficiency. Meeting MAD was associated with lower odds of stunting (AOR: 0.87; 95% CI 0.74-1.02; p = 0.094) and significantly lower odds of anemia (AOR: 0.67; 95% CI 0.49-0.93; p = 0.017), but not with wasting, iron, or zinc deficiency. Dietary diversity, socioeconomic status, and maternal education emerged as key predictors of child nutrition.
