Effects of the longitudinal prevalence of diarrhoea in the first 24 months on stunting at 24 months of age. Point estimates of the effect of longitudinal diarrhoea prevalence on stunting at 24 months are shown for each study. The size of the square around the point estimate is proportional to sample size. The lines represent 95% CI. In the pooled estimate, represented by a diamond, the odds of stunting at 24 months increased by 1.16 when the longitudinal prevalence of diarrhoea increased by 5% (95% CI 1.07–1.25)
