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: This study investigates the determinants of rural household resilience to food insecurity and examines variations in resilience capacity across socioeconomic and demographic groups in the southwest districts of South Wollo, Ethiopia. Objectives: This study examined and measured the determinants of rural household resilience to food insecurity and analyzed variations in resilience capacity across household characteristics and livelihood groups by applying the resilience index measurement and analysis II approaches. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional research design using primary data collected from 366 sample households. A 2-stage factor analysis model was applied. In the first stage, factor analysis was used to construct latent indices for the key resilience dimensions: access to basic services, adaptive capacity, assets, and social safety nets based on observed variables. In the second stage, a higher-order factor analysis was conducted to estimate an overall household resilience capacity index. Results: The results show that access to basic services and assets are the strongest contributors to household resilience, whereas social safety nets play the weakest role, reflecting limited coverage and unreliable support networks. Resilience levels differ significantly across districts, education categories, and household headship, with Legambo district, uneducated households, and female-headed households demonstrating the lowest resilience. Conclusions: The study concludes that resilience to food insecurity is shaped by structural constraints, including poor service access, restricted livelihood diversification, inadequate asset ownership, and weak social protection. The findings underscore the need for multidimensional, gender-responsive, and context-specific strategies to enhance rural household resilience in Ethiopia.
