Multi-dimensional poverty and maternal care utilization in Nigeria.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Introduction: This study examined the influence of Multi-Dimensional Poverty Index (MPI) on the utilization of maternal healthcare services in Nigeria. Methods: Secondary data from the 2023-24 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) were analyzed. Two key indicators of maternal healthcare utilization were considered: [1] a minimum of eight antenatal care (ANC) visits, and [2] place of delivery (POD). Binary logistic regression was employed to identify the predictors of at least eight ANC visits and institutional delivery. Results: The result showed that 38.1% of the sampled women were multi-dimensionally poor. Additionally, 19% of women reported having at least eight ANC visits during pregnancy, while 42.5% delivered their most recent child in a health facility. The multivariate analysis showed that women who were multi-dimensionally poor were significantly less likely to attend ANC up to eight times and to deliver in a health facility. Conclusion: These results underscore the importance of addressing socioeconomic inequalities among Nigerian households to improve maternal healthcare utilization. Hence, multi-pronged approach should be adopted to improve household socioeconomic conditions in Nigeria.
