Seasonal Food Availability, Preservation Practices, and Dietary Diversity in Children Under 5 in Western Kenya.
Article in Public health challenges, 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
Malnutrition remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children under 5 years worldwide. In Kenya, the situation is further aggravated by climate change, which disrupts agricultural productivity and limits access to nutrient‑rich foods. This study explored the availability, seasonal patterns, and preservation of local foods as strategies for improving minimum dietary diversity (MDD) among children under 5 in Siaya County, Kenya. A cross‑sectional study employing both descriptive and inferential statistical analyses was conducted among children aged 0-60 months, their caregivers, and local food vendors. Anthropometrics were assessed using World Health Organization (WHO) standards, and questionnaires captured demographic, dietary, and seasonal food availability information. Statistical analyses included Chi‑square tests and logistic regression. Results showed low consumption of nutrient‑rich foods such as legumes/nuts, eggs, and flesh foods, with only 19% (
