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
Designing enteral foods from local ingredients for tube feeding of low-income people who cannot eat orally is needed. Two processing methods, involving the addition of amylase or malt, were used to thin a blenderized tube feeding formula based on sorghum, sesame and soybean seeds. Two composite flours, either with higher carbohydrate (F1D) or higher lipid (F2D) contents were formulated to obtain an enteral food aimed at adults. To thin the formula enough for it to flow inside the feeding tube, increasing concentrations of amylase (0.27-2.17 g/100 g DM) were added to gruels F1D (F1DE) and F2D (F2DE) prepared at 25% DM. Sorghum malt was also added to F1D (F1DM) as an alternative source of amylase. But F1DE and F1DM flow times in a 50 cm feeding tube (10 Fr) remained much longer (up to 14 s) than that of the commercial enteral food (4 s). The F1DE and F1DM osmolalities (485 and 599 mOsmol/Kg water, respectively) were higher compared to that of F1D but remained within the range specified for adult enteral food. F1D, F1DE and F1DM gruels showed pseudoplastic behavior. Their loss ratio (tan
