Forest plot of 16 studies indicating the excess of stunting prevalence in male compared to female children. The broken vertical line represents the odds ratio of the pooled results adjusted for child-age and individual study, with the confidence interval corresponding to the width of the diamond. The unbroken vertical line is at the null value (1) of the odds ratios (equivalent to no stunting difference between boys and girls).
