A quasi-experimental study on fortified tempeh: A nutritional intervention for fetal growth in Indonesia.
Article in Asia Pacific journal of clinical nutrition, 2025. 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesStunting is a global health challenge, especially in developing countries like Indonesia, where its prevalence reached 21.6% in 2022. This condition stems from malnutrition, recurrent infections, and inadequate care during the first 1,000 days of life. Maternal nutrition is critical for fetal growth, as deficiencies can lead to low birth weight and short birth length, increasing the risk of stunting. This study evaluates the potential of fortified tempeh as a nutritional intervention to improve birth outcomes. METHODS AND STUDY
designA quasi-experimental study with a quantitative approach was conducted to compare the effects of regular and fortified tempeh on BW and BL among pregnant women in Kuningan Regency. Participants were divided into two groups: one receiving fortified tempeh and the other regular tempeh. BW and BL were measured at birth and statistically analyzed for differences.
resultsThe results showed no statistically significant differences in BW and BL between the two groups. However, the fortified tempeh group exhibited a positive trend, with an average BW of 2.92 kg and an average BL of 49.1 cm, compared to the regular tempeh group.
conclusionsFortified tempeh demonstrates potential as a cost-effective, locally sourced intervention to support fetal growth and reduce stunting risks. Its integration into public health programs could enhance maternal nutrition and improve birth outcomes in Indonesia.
