1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Globally, severe acute malnutrition (SAM) accounts for >1/3-0⋅5 of deaths in children <5 years, and approximately 54 % deaths in developing countries. The minimum international standard set for the management of SAM is a cure rate of at least 75 % and death rate <10 %. The present study was conducted to determine treatment outcome and associated factors among children 1-5 years hospitalised with SAM in Lacor and Gulu Regional Referral Hospital (GRRH) in 2017. A retrospective observational method supplemented with a qualitative inquiry was done. A total of 317 patients' records were reviewed in either hospital; checklist data were analysed using SPSS version 16 with
