Determinants of animal-source food consumption in children 6-48 months in livestock-keeping households in Narok County, Kenya.
Article in Journal of health, population, and nutrition, 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
backgroundMalnutrition, encompassing undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies, remains a significant public health concern in Africa. In Kenya’s livestock-keeping communities, animal-source foods (ASF) consumption is crucial for improving dietary diversity and meeting nutritional needs, especially among women of reproductive age (WRA) and children. This study aimed to assess dietary diversity, ASF consumption, and their socio-economic determinants among WRA and children aged 6–48 months in livestock-keeping households in Narok County, Kenya.
methodsA cross-sectional survey among 774 mother-child pairs from 619 unique households in Narok County assessed dietary diversity using standardized indicators for Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women (MDD-W) and Children (MDD-C) based on a 24-hour recall. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify socio-economic factors associated with ASF consumption.
resultsAmong mothers, 68.5% did not meet MDD-W, while 73.7% of children met MDD-C. ASF consumption was higher among children (88.4%) compared to mothers (38.6%). Factors significantly associated with ASF consumption in children included farming systems, savings accounts, food security, and maternal practices. Children in mixed farming households were more likely to consume ASF (OR 3.12, 95% CI: 1.47–7.27). Having a savings account (OR 1.81, 95% CI: 1.09–2.99), food security (OR 2.71, 95% CI: 1.54–4.76), and good maternal practices (OR 0.24, 95% CI: 0.08–0.61) were associated with higher ASF consumption.
conclusionThe results from this study underscore the need to enhance food security, promote economic empowerment, and enhance knowledge and practices around ASF consumption as critical to improving nutrition among children in livestock-keeping communities.
