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
introductionMalnutrition is one of the major problems in which the physical function of an individual is impaired to the point that it can no longer maintain adequate body processes such as growth, physical work, and resistance to or recovery from disease. Malnutrition is associated with a low economic situation, and poor personal and environmental hygiene. Recent studies found that the centre of the problem is the backward socioeconomic development of the country. The level of the healthcare services in Ethiopia is low, even when compared to sub-Sahara African countries. The objective of this study was to assess the magnitude of malnutrition and associated factors among pregnant women and lactating mothers in the Miesso Health Centre, Miesso Woreda, Oromia Region, Ethiopia.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from 1 February to 30 May 2017, among pregnant women and lactating mothers in Miesso Woreda. A sample of 304 women was selected using a systematic random sampling approach from the list of patients, with different sociodemographic status.
resultsOur results showed that among all pregnant women and lactating mothers, 12.6% were overweight and 30.3% were underweight. From multiple logistic regression analysis, family incomes (AOR=2.056, 95% CI: 1.051-4.023) and age of women (AOR=2.169, 95% CI: 1.015-4.634) were significantly associated with the nutritional status of the study participants.
conclusionsWe recommend that authorities should: facilitate the rural-urban community's access to information on nutrition including eating-practices sanitation; initiate a health and development program during pregnancy and lactation; expand women's education on diet during pregnancy and lactation.
