Combating Stunting in Children Under Five Years Old: A Narrative Review of Policies and Programs in Southeast Asia.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Southeast Asia is still battling with stunting cases, which remain a health challenge as it negatively hinders child development as well as impact national economic growth. Stunting results from inadequate nutrition and frequent infections during the first 1,000 days of life. This condition not only affects physical growth but also cognitive development, academic achievement, and later-life health, perpetuating a cycle of malnutrition across generations. Several countries in the region have implemented policies and programs to tackle this problem, focusing on both nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions. These interventions vary from community-based initiatives, breastfeeding promotion, to comprehensive national nutrition plans. Despite these efforts, challenges remain, including socioeconomic disparities and the need for better coordination and monitoring of interventions. This study reviews the prevalence of stunting in Southeast Asia and examines the existing policies and programs aimed at reducing stunting rates in the region. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence on stunting in Southeast Asia to clarify regional gaps and guide targeted interventions. It provides a practical reference for strengthening policies and programs aimed at reducing stunting.
