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
Introduction: Nutrition plays an integral part in growth and development of a child. Age-appropriate feeding is known to improve the child's well-being and reduce the risk of specific diseases. The present study aimed to assess the awareness of parents regarding breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices. Methodology: This health-based prospective observational study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital enrolling 95 parents with children in the age group 1-2 years. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 26 and Microsoft excel. Results: In the present study, the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding was 73.68%. Eighty-six (90.53%) parents initiated complementary feeds at 6 months. However, only 45.26% of children were consuming adequate quantity of complementary foods. The association of child's calorie consumption with maternal age and occupation was found to be statistically significant. Conclusion: Adequate nutrition during childhood and infancy is a key factor influencing growth and development. In the present study, the overall breastfeeding and complimentary feeding practices were satisfactory. However, the quantity of complementary feeding was inadequate. Counselling the mothers on appropriate breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices during antenatal and postnatal visits may have a positive impact on infant feeding practices.
