Study protocol for measuring energy needs and nutritional status of adolescent girls in Abia state, Nigeria: The nutrition and adolescence in rural Nigeria (NARN'ia) Study.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06601959 (Study Protocol for Measuring Energy Needs and Nutritional Status of Adolescent Girls in Abia State, Nigeria), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundAdolescents in low- and middle-income countries face significant nutritional challenges, including undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, poor dietary habits, and food insecurity. These issues adversely affect their growth, development, and long-term health. Despite their vulnerability, adolescents are frequently excluded from nutritional program planning due to limited data, weak intervention delivery platforms, and underdeveloped policies. METHODS/
designThe Nutrition and Adolescence in Rural Nigeria (NARN'ia) study aims to address this gap through a comprehensive assessment of energy requirements in adolescent girls (N = 70; ages 10-19 years) in Nigeria. NARN'ia will combine multiple methods: 24-hour dietary recall using the (INDDEX24 app); physical activity monitoring via accelerometry; anthropometric assessments of body composition, and the doubly labeled water method to measure total daily energy expenditure and body composition. DISCUSSION: Findings from this study will inform evidence-based nutritional guidelines tailored to adolescent girls in Nigeria. By integrating robust methodologies, NARN'ia will contribute foundational data on adolescent energy needs, supporting future research and policy development in Nigeria and other low- and middle-income countries.
