1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Protein intake is widely recognized as a reliable marker for assessing malnutrition. The double burden of malnutrition (DBM) is characterized by the coexistence of malnutrition and overweight, obesity, or diet-related noncommunicable diseases in individuals, families, and populations throughout the life course. Methods: Children were categorized into quartiles based on the protein index. World Health Organization (WHO) Anthro software was used to assess child growth and development, enabling the prediction of DBM prevalence. Nutrient intake, the effect on DBM were assessed using both a multifactorial logistic regression model and a binary logistic regression correction model. Results: The prevalence of DBM increased with higher protein index quartiles. In the regression model, the risk of DBM was significantly higher in the second (Q Conclusion: This study revealed a strong correlation between the protein index and DBM prevalence in preschool children aged 2-5 years.
