Magnitude of Stunting and Its Determinants Among Under-Five Children in Awi Zone, Northwest Ethiopia.
Article in Journal of nutrition and metabolism, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Introduction: Stunting is a major global health concern, with an estimated 154.8 million children under 5 years old. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and the contributing factors of stunting among children under 5 years old in Awi Zone, Northwest Ethiopia. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 1388 participants selected using a multistage sampling method. Structured and pretested questionnaires were used to collect the data, and STATA software was used for analysis. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the factors associated with stunting. Results: The prevalence of stunting in Awi Zone was 24.9%. Rich wealth index (AOR: 0.46), health insurance (AOR: 0.45), child aged 24-59 months (AOR: 30.40), medium birth weight (AOR: 0.53), having toilet facility (AOR: 0.46), male child (AOR: 1.92), 2 Conclusion: To reduce child stunting, governmental and nongovernmental organizations should design and implement public health interventions targeting poor households and those without health insurance and should enhance institutional delivery and ANC visits.
