Maternal feeding knowledge and practices as determinants of nutritional status in under-five children.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Under-five malnutrition remains a persistent public health burden in low- and middle-income countries, contributing substantially to morbidity and impaired growth. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate maternal knowledge, attitude and feeding practices (KAP) and examined their association with anthropometric indicators among children aged 6 months to 5 years. Maternal KAP was assessed using a structured questionnaire and child nutritional status was determined using weight-for-age, height-for-age and mid-upper arm circumference based on WHO standards. Moderate knowledge (53.3%) and practices (56.7%) were observed, while 23.3% were underweight, 20% stunted and 13.3% wasted. Thus, maternal feeding practices demonstrated significant positive correlations with weight-for-age (r=0.52), height-for-age (r=0.47) and MUAC (r=0.50), indicating behavioral determinants strongly influence child growth outcomes.
