Factors affecting women's nutritional security in rural Bangladesh: The role of livestock and other socioeconomic characteristics.
Article in PloS one, 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
In every household, women play a crucial role in shaping the foundation of food and nutrition. They are primarily responsible for ensuring nutritional security for all members. However, women often find themselves in vulnerable positions within this context. With this in mind, the study aimed to evaluate the nutritional security status of women and explore its determinants. Data were extracted from the Bangladesh Integrated Households Survey-2018. A total of 5604 women were considered, and their nutritional security status was measured based on their minimum dietary diversity intake and sufficient calorie consumption in a 24-hour period. The data were divided into two subsets: households with livestock and households without livestock, to examine the impact of livestock ownership on women's nutritional security status. The findings revealed that within the overall population, approximately 9% of women have achieved nutritional security. Interestingly, a higher proportion of women, around 11%, from households with livestock were found to be nutritionally secure compared to those without livestock, where only about 7% of women achieved nutritional security. A binary logit regression model was utilized to explore significant predictors and found that livestock ownership, women's education level, household income, farm size, household size, ownership of a mobile phone by women, and women`s nutritional knowledge were significantly positively associated with their nutritional security status. When examining the subset of women from households without livestock, it was found that their monthly income, farm size, and women's nutritional knowledge had insignificant impacts compared to women from households with livestock. Addressing the role of livestock, the study concludes that the predictors of women's nutritional status are not equally significant based on livestock ownership. The study's findings will assist in designing and formulating future policies and development programs addressing this newly acquired knowledge.
