Nutritionally Improved Traditional Recipes and Fortified Infant Flours to Increase the Nutritional and Energy Intake in 6-11-Month-Old Infants in Rural Niger: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Nutrients, 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
Back-ground: In 2022, in Niger, undernutrition was highly prevalent in 6-23-month-old infants and their diet was poorly diversified.
methodsThis cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted in the Zinder region of Niger to monitor food and nutritional intakes from two food solutions, fortified infant flours (FIF) and ten nutritionally improved traditional recipes (NITR), in breastfed 6-11-month-old infants divided into four groups: control, responsive feeding (RF) awareness raising, RF + FIF, and RF + NITR. Data were collected at T0 (
resultsAt T0, 29% and 52% of infants had stunting and anemia, respectively, and 24% of them achieved minimum dietary diversity (MDD) in all groups. At T3, the MDD rates significantly increased, particularly in the RF + FIF and RF + NITR groups (71% and 81%, respectively). Food intake remained low in all groups, below the gastric capacity of children. Nevertheless, at T3, food intake was significantly higher in the RF + NITR group than in the other groups (
conclusionsA strategy that combines FIF and NITR appears relevant for improving nutritional intake in these contexts.
