Women empowerment and dietary diversity among Tripura Tribal women in Bangladesh.
Article in PloS one, 2026. 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
backgroundThe empowerment of women is a global concern with significant implications both for individual well-being and societal progress. This study assessed the status of women's empowerment and its relationship with dietary diversity among Tripura ethnic women in Khagrachari district, Bangladesh.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted with 230 randomly selected reproductive-aged women with a predesigned questionnaire. Significant relationships between socio-economic characteristics, women's empowerment, women's role in household food management, and Dietary Diversity Score (DDS) were examined by performing binary logistic regression analysis with the aid of Stata/MP 16.0 software.
resultsThe study findings revealed that only 13.9% (32) of the Tripura tribal women are empowered, with a mean aggregated empowerment score of 0.51 ± 0.24. Dietary assessment showed that 25% of the respondents consumed fewer than five food groups, while 15% reported no intake of Animal Source Foods (ASFs). Furthermore, several factors appear to be associated with dietary diversity and ASFs consumption of women including education, (AOR = 3.80, 95% CI: 1.66-8.69; AOR = 3.04, 95% CI: 1.23-7.48), household structure, (AOR = 4.93, 95% CI: 2.24-10.87; AOR = 3.16, 95% CI: 1.32-7.57) and meal preparation roles (ASFs; AOR = 3.30, 95% CI: 1.12-9.75). Notably, empowered women had 10.53 times higher odds (AOR = 10.53, 95% CI: 1.40-79.10) of achieving greater DDS compared to their disempowered counterparts.
conclusionThese findings highlight the importance of enhancing women's empowerment, improving female education, and addressing household decision-making roles when designing nutrition interventions for tribal women.
