Triple burden of malnutrition in children and mothers from Ceará, brazil: a cross sectional study.
Article in Journal of health, population, and 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
This cross-sectional study evaluated the prevalence and associated factors of the triple burden of malnutrition (TBM)-defined as the coexistence of child undernutrition (low growth indices), anemia in children, and maternal overweight/obesity-in 3,200 mother-child pairs in Ceará, Brazil, in 2023. Standardized anthropometric measurements and hemoglobin levels were obtained. The prevalence of TBM was 3.9% (95% CI: 3.2-4.6), with 14.6% (95% CI: 13.3-16.0) of children presenting any form of undernutrition, 36.6% (95% CI: 34.5-38.8) with anemia, and 65.5% (95% CI: 63.7-67.2) of mothers with overweight/obesity. Multivariable analyses demonstrated that age was a significant predictor: children under 6 months had an odds ratio (OR) of 3.8 (95% CI: 1.8-8.3, p = 0.001) and those aged 6 to 11 months had an OR of 5.1 (95% CI: 2.6-10.1, p < 0.001) compared to children aged 24 to 71 months. The lack of cow's milk consumption was associated with a 2.1-fold increased risk (adjusted OR = 2.1; 95% CI: 1.1-3.8, p = 0.017), while non-use of anti-helminthics raised the risk by 2.4 times (adjusted OR = 2.4; 95% CI: 1.5-3.7, p < 0.001). Environmental factors also played a key role: households with more than three children (adjusted OR = 2.2; 95% CI: 1.4-3.6, p = 0.002) and the absence of daycare attendance (adjusted OR = 3.2; 95% CI: 1.8-5.7, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with TBM. Maternal factors such as possessing a pregnancy card (adjusted OR = 3.2; 95% CI: 1.5-6.7, p = 0.002) and smoking (adjusted OR = 2.1; 95% CI: 1.1-4.0, p = 0.024) also increased the risk of TBM. These findings underscore the need for early nutritional interventions and integrated public policies addressing dietary habits, healthcare access, and living conditions in vulnerable populations.
