The Effect of the Yingyangbao Complementary Food Supplement on the Nutritional Status of Infants and Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Nutrients, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06827964 (Effects of Nutrition Package), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
Yingyangbao (YYB) is a nutrient-dense complementary food supplement for infants and young children in China. There has been considerable interest and research on the potential effects of YYB on hematological and anthropometric outcomes in China, but limited effort has been made to consolidate and synthesize the evidence to inform the research and policy agendas. Eight English databases and three Chinese databases were searched from January 2001 to June 2019 to identify YYB intervention studies. A total of 32 quasi-experimental, post-only, concurrent-control studies or pre-post studies were identified, and 26 were included in the meta-analyses. A pooled analysis of post-only studies with concurrent-control determined that YYB was associated with an increase of 4.43 g/L (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.55, 7.30) hemoglobin concentration, 2.46 cm (CI 0.96, 3.97) in height, and 0.79 kg (CI 0.25, 1.32) weight in infants and young children. YYB was also associated with reductions in the prevalence of anemia (risk ratio (RR) = 0.55; 95% CI: 0.45, 0.67), stunting (RR = 0.60; 95% CI: 0.44, 0.81), and underweight (RR = 0.51; 95% CI: 0.39, 0.65). Overall, YYB was found to be associated with improved hematological and anthropometric indicators among infants and young children in China; however, randomized trials are needed to causally assess the efficacy of YYB due to the inherent risk of bias in existing quasi-experimental studies; rigorous implementation and cost-effectiveness evaluations are also needed.
