Addressing Child Malnutrition in Somalia: Beyond Humanitarian Responses.
Article in Journal of healthcare leadership, 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
Child malnutrition in Somalia represents one of the most severe and protracted public health crises of the contemporary era, rooted not solely in acute food scarcity but in a complex architecture of structural failures, governance deficits, climate vulnerability, and inadequate health system capacity. An estimated 1.7 million children under five years of age in Somalia faced acute malnutrition in 2025, including 466,000 cases of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) and 1.2 million cases of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM). This commentary argues that meaningful progress against child malnutrition in Somalia demands a decisive shift away from perpetual emergency response cycles toward integrated, development-oriented, and sustainably funded national strategies. We examine the epidemiological burden, the structural determinants of malnutrition, the limitations of exclusively humanitarian approaches, and propose a multi-sectoral framework encompassing health system strengthening, food system transformation, nutrition-sensitive social protection, gender-responsive programming, and community-based management. Addressing child malnutrition in Somalia is not merely a humanitarian imperative but a foundational prerequisite for national development.
