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: Timely initiation of breastfeeding is defined as putting the newborn baby to the breast within one hour of birth. Despite the World Health Organization and national recommendations on timely initiation of breastfeeding, delayed initiation of breastfeeding is still a common problem. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the timely initiation of breastfeeding and its associated factors at the public health facilities of Dire Dawa city, Eastern Ethiopia, 2021. Methods: A health facility-based cross-sectional study was employed from February 1, 2021, to March 2, 2021, at the public health facilities of Dire Dawa city among 302 mother-child pairs. The data were collected by systematic random sampling technique, entered into Epi data 4.2, and analyzed using Statistical Package of Social Science 25.0 version. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed to estimate the crude and adjusted odds ratio with a confidence interval of 95%, and a Results: In this study, timely initiation of breastfeeding was 70.9% (95% CI: 65.6-75.8%). In a multivariable analysis, maternal age group of 25-40 years (AOR = 2.21, 95% CI = 1.09 - 4.48), multiparty (AOR = 2.58, 95% CI = 1.24 - 5.40), counselling on timely initiation of breastfeeding during antenatal care visits (AOR = 2.38, 95% CI = 1.16 - 4.88), institutional delivery (AOR = 3.29, 95% CI = 1.27 - 8.52), vaginal delivery (AOR = 3.06, 95% CI = 1.20 - 7.81), counselling on breastfeeding immediately after delivery (AOR = 2.89, 95% CI = 1.29 - 6.45), not practicing pre lacteal feeding (AOR = 6.76, 95% CI = 2.35 - 19.44), and having good practice of colostrum feeding (AOR = 4.03, 95% CI = 1.95 - 8.36) were associated with timely initiation of breastfeeding.
