Exploration of iron deficiency anemia and its associated factors among pregnant women seeking antenatal care in public health facilities of southwestern Ethiopia. A mixed study.
Article in AJOG global reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundAnemia is a major problem in Ethiopia, affecting a large part of the population. Despite the importance of the problem, the causes of anemia, especially iron deficiency anemia, among pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC) in the study area have been little studied. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate iron deficiency anemia and its associated factors in pregnant women seeking antenatal care in public health facilities in Southwest Ethiopia in 2023. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A mixed facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted involving 364 pregnant women from selected health facilities in Ilubabor and Buno Bedele zones. Backward multiple logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between dependent and independent variables, with statistical significance set at a
resultsIn this study, the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia was found to be 21.4%. Several factors have been significantly associated with iron deficiency anemia including; presence of malaria parasite [AOR=15.8, CI=5.1-48.4], presence of Helminthes [AOR=8.1, CI=2.8-23.9], consumption of leafy vegetables less than once a day [AOR=3.4, CI = 1.5-13.3] and not taking iron supplements/consumption [AOR=2.2, CI=1.1-4.4]. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The overall prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in the study area suggests that, it is a moderate public health problem. In order to improve the nutritional status of women, routine and consistent nutritional advice, the establishment of regular preventive systems and the implementation of feedback mechanisms are recommended.
