Family Empowerment for Stunting Prevention in Children Aged 0-2 Years: A Concept Analysis.
Review in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 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
Background: Stunting in children aged 0-2 years remains a major global health challenge, particularly in low‑ and middle‑income countries, with long‑term consequences for growth and development. Although family empowerment is widely promoted as a strategy for stunting prevention, its conceptualization within stimulation, early detection, and family‑centered care remains fragmented. Methods: Guided by Walker and Avant's concept analysis framework, this study systematically examined literature retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar (July 2025). Studies were screened for relevance to family empowerment, caregiving, health literacy, and growth monitoring in the context of children aged 0-2 years. Results: Twenty‑seven eligible studies were synthesized to refine the construct of family empowerment in stunting prevention. Across the reviewed literature, family empowerment was consistently conceptualized as a multidimensional process characterized by five interrelated attributes-reflective decision‑making, self‑efficacy, participation, health literacy integration, and resource mobilization-positioning families as active agents in growth monitoring, stimulation, and timely intervention during the first 1000 days of life. Conclusion: This analysis reframes family empowerment as a strategic, family‑centered pathway for stunting prevention. By advancing conceptual clarity within nursing and culturally diverse caregiving contexts, the findings inform practice and policy through the integration of empowerment indicators alongside growth monitoring and highlight priorities for future research focused on culturally responsive validation of empowerment measures.
