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.

methodsA community-based cross-sectional study design was deployed to conduct this study from November 1-30, 2019 in the Buno Bedele zone, Ethiopia. The study included 592 pregnant women and a proportional sample of the size of the population was allocated to each 32 kebeles. A structured interviewer administered pretested tool was utilized for data collection.

The mothers' educational status (AOR = 1.33, 95% CI 0.34, 2.08), income (AOR = 5.7, 95% CI, 5.1, 6.65), dietary knowledge (AOR = 3.03, 95% CI 1.98, 4.18) and pregnancy intervals (AOR = 4.16 95% CI 2.74, 6.49) were factors found to be affecting the nutritional practices of pregnant women. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Only 31.2% of pregnant women had good dietary practice. This indicated that the majority of study participants had a poor dietary practice, which is a concern because having poor dietary practice contributes to maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity.
