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
backgroundThere is little evidence of the impact of integrated programs distributing nutrition supplements with behavior change on infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices.
objectiveWe evaluated the impact of an integrated IYCF/micronutrient powder intervention on IYCF practices among caregivers of children aged 12-23 mo in eastern Uganda.
methodsWe used pre-post data from 2 population-based, cross-sectional surveys representative of children aged 12-23 mo in Amuria (intervention) and Soroti (nonintervention) districts (
resultsControlling for child age and sex, household wealth and food security, and caregiver schooling, the intervention was positively associated with having received IYCF counseling by village health team [adjusted prevalence difference-in-difference (APDiD): +51.6%; 95% CI: 44.0%, 59.2%]; timely introduction of complementary feeding (APDiD: +21.7%; 95% CI: 13.4%, 30.1%); having consumed organs or meats (APDiD: +9.0%; 95% CI: 1.4%, 16.6%) or vitamin A-rich fruits or vegetables (APDiD: +17.5%; 95% CI: 4.5%, 30.5%); and MMF (APDiD: +18.6%; 95% CI: 11.2%, 25.9%). The intervention was negatively associated with having consumed grains, roots, or tubers (APDiD: -4.4%; 95% CI: -7.0%, -1.7%) and legumes, nuts, or seeds (APDiD: -15.6%; 95% CI: -26.2%, -5.0%). Prevalences of some IYCF practices were low in Amuria at endline including MAD (19.1%; 95% CI :16.3%, 21.9%).
conclusionsThe intervention had a positive impact on several IYCF practices; however, endline prevalence of some indicators suggests a continued need to improve complementary feeding practices.
