1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is widely used to assess causal relationships among latent variables, yet its strict assumptions often limit empirical applications. Partial Least Squares SEM (PLS-SEM) offers greater flexibility, but the choice of weighting scheme remains a methodological challenge. This study introduces a PCA-based weighting scheme to improve the stability and accuracy of PLS estimation. Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) is further integrated to identify high-impact but underperforming indicators. Applied to child malnutrition in East Java, the approach reveals that socio-economic conditions most strongly influence food security, parenting, and health-environment services. IPA highlights exclusive breastfeeding as a priority for intervention. The proposed methodological approach strengthens PLS estimation and yields actionable insights for prioritizing policy measures.
