Complementary Feeding and Diarrhea and Respiratory Infection Among HIV-Exposed Tanzanian Infants.
Trial report in Journal of acquired immune deficiency syndromes (1999), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveTo examine the association between complementary feeding and risks of diarrhea and acute respiratory infection (ARI) among HIV-exposed infants aged 6-24 months.
designWe prospectively used an Infant and Child Feeding Index (ICFI) to measure complementary feeding practices (breastfeeding status, food consistency, dietary diversity, food group frequency, and meal frequency). We determined the association of ICFI and each of its components with the risk of diarrhea and ARI. Generalized estimating equations were used to estimate the relative risks for morbidity episodes.
settingDar es Salaam, Tanzania. SUBJECTS: A total of 2092 HIV-exposed infants followed from 6 months of age to 24 months of age.
resultsThe ICFI score ranged from 0 to 9; the median score was 6 (interquartile range = 4-7). Low ICFI scores were likely associated with increased risk of dysentery [low vs. high tertile risk ratio (RR): 1.40; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.93 to 2.10; P for trend = 0.02] and respiratory infection (low vs. high tertile RR: 1.16; 95% CI: 0.96 to 1.41; P for trend = 0.01). Low dietary diversity scores were likely associated with higher risk of dysentery (low vs. high tertile RR: 1.47; 95% CI: 0.92 to 2.35; P for trend = 0.03) and respiratory infection (low vs. high tertile RR: 1.41; 95% CI: 1.13 to 1.76; P for trend = 0.01). Low food consistency scores were associated with higher risk of respiratory infection (RR: 1.77; 95% CI: 1.40 to 2.26; P < 0.01).
conclusionsIn this setting, low ICFI, dietary diversity, and food consistency scores were likely associated with increased risk of diarrhea and ARI among HIV-exposed infants.
