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
Dehydration is a significant depletion of body water and electrolytes. The awareness of dehydration signs is essential, and in-home mothers' practice and responses towards professional medical help are crucial. The study is a cross-sectional study enrolled 222 mothers with children under 5 years, and 198 of them participate in a semi-structured questionnaire that involves information of dehydration signs, oral rehydration solution and preparation and in-home practice and remedies used by mothers in the management of dehydration. Fifty-eight participants (29.3%) were found in the age group of 26-30 years, 78 participants (39.4%) received primary school education and 92 (46.5%) had one child under 5 years, whereas 17.7% received educational workshop or counselling. Main management practices performed by the mothers were over-the-counter medications (36.4%) and rice water (33.8%). The majority (88%) of the participants were aware about dehydration signs, which were significantly associated with educational levels, and workshop or counselling received from professional.
