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
backgroundDespite the fact that breastfeeding promotes optimal health and growth for infants and young children, inappropriate feeding practice, such as prelacteal feeding increases the risk of neonatal death and illness and remains a public health problem in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study assessed the prevalence of prelacteal feeding and associated factors among HIV positive mothers with children aged 7-20 months attending government hospitals in North Gondar zone, northwest Ethiopia.
methodsAn institution based cross-sectional study was conducted from February to March, 2016, at public hospitals of North Gondar Zone. Three hundred sixty-seven HIV positive mothers attending PMTCT clinics in government hospitals during the study period were included in the study. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate factors associated with prelacteal feeding. The Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) with the corresponding 95% Confidence Interval (CI) was used to show the strength of association, and variables with a
resultsIn this study, the overall prevalence of prelacteal feeding was 19.1% (95% CI: 15-23). According to the multivariate analysis, prelacteal feeding was associated with fathers with no formal education (AOR = 5.85; 95% CI: 2.02, 16.92), lack of infant feeding counseling (AOR = 3.36; 95% CI: 1.27, 8.85), discarding the colostrum (AOR = 5.16; 95% CI: 2.32, 11.45), inadequacy of antenatal care visit (AOR = 0.07; 95% CI: 0.03, 0.15), and high IYCF knowledge (AOR = 0.10; 95% CI: 0.03, 0.30).
conclusionIn this study, the prevalence of prelacteal feeding was high. Furthermore, father's education, colostrum feeding, infant feeding counseling, ANC visit, and IYCF knowledge were significantly associated with prelacteal feeding. As a result, strengthening maternal health care utilization, breastfeeding counseling, and IYCF knowledge are essential to address the high burden of prelacteal feeding.
