Multilevel analysis of improved water utilization and associated factors in Yemen: using 2013 DHS Yemen national dataset.
Article in BMC public health, 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
Access to clean drinking water is essential for public health and quality of life. Yemen faces a severe water crisis driven by scarcity, groundwater overexploitation, and socio-political instability. This study analyzed data from the 2013 Yemen Demographic and Health Survey (17,333 weighted samples from 8,794 households) to identify household and community factors influencing access to improved water sources. A multilevel logistic regression was applied to identify factors associated with the use of improved drinking water, considering variables with p-values < 0.05 as statistically significant. The results show that about 58.8% of households had access to improved water sources. Media exposure, larger household size, fewer under-five children, shorter water collection time, higher wealth status, urban residence, and lower community poverty levels were associated with higher odds of access to improved water. Regional disparities were observed across governorates. To enhance access to improved water sources, targeted interventions should prioritize infrastructure development, poverty reduction, and public awareness campaigns tailored to the specific needs of each community.
