Health cadres' experiences in detecting and preventing childhood stunting in Indonesia: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundStunting in children is still a public health problem in Indonesia and concerns the Indonesian government. It can have both immediate and lasting impacts on human capital development and the future productivity of those affected individuals as they mature. Therefore, healthcare professionals and health cadres must prioritize detecting and preventing stunting in childhood within Indonesia's healthcare context. PURPOSE: This study aims to understand and describe the experiences of health cadres in detecting and preventing stunting in childhood.
methodsA qualitative approach was used. From August to September 2023, 15 health cadres were interviewed individually, semi-structured, and in-depth. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis.
resultsFour theme clusters emerged from the analysis: (1) challenges in detecting stunting in childhood, (2) effective communication with pregnant women, husbands and their families, (3) the need to increase knowledge in detecting and preventing stunting, (4) role and responsibility as health cadres in preventing stunting.
conclusionThe findings of this study provide valid primary data that can enhance the knowledge and skills of health cadres in detecting and preventing stunting in children. Training is necessary to improve volunteers' basic knowledge and communication skills, supporting early awareness and family engagement in stunting prevention among children in Indonesia.
