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

Globally, childhood wasting has been a major public health issue for decades and its burden has been overwhelmingly borne by low- and middle-income countries. In Yemen, ongoing conflict and economic hardship have contributed to alarmingly high rates of childhood wasting. This study aimed to identify factors associated with wasting among Yemeni children under five aged based on the 2022–2023 Yemen Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS). A total of 18,389 children were investigated. Univariable and multivariable survey logistic regression models were used to examine the association of the study factors with childhood wasting. The results of the study reveal that male children, those in the first two years of life, children from low-income households and those without access to designated handwashing facilities had higher odds of childhood wasting. These findings give the policy markers a valuable direction for public health work targeting childhood malnutrition in Yemen.
