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
Background: Improved nutrition situation analysis can increase the understanding of the likely magnitude and main causes of the nutrient gap among children less than 2 years of age. The present study was aimed at assessing nutritional status and factors related to it in children less than 2 years of age in the Devbhumi Dwarka District of Gujarat, India. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. The sample size for a population-based survey was calculated using Open Epi and considering 20% non-response rate. Sample size for the study was 1,200 but sample size achieved was 1,301. Chi-square analyses were performed to identify significant determinants of under-nutrition separately for stunting, wasting, and underweight. Results: The prevalence of wasting, underweight, and stunting was 14, 17, and 32%, respectively. Prevalence of low birth weight was recorded as 14% in the district. The overall prevalence of overweight was 20% and 6% as per weight for height and weight for age criteria, respectively. The proportion of children with exclusive breastfeeding observed to be decreasing with increasing age from birth to 6 months; 70% of children were exclusively breastfeed at the age of 6 months compared to 84% at their births. Chi-square analyses revealed that parity and spacing as significant determinants of under-nutrition in children less than 2 years in the district. Conclusion: In Devbhumi Dwarka, burden of malnutrition was recorded. Maternal literacy, parity, and spacing emerged as significant determinants of under-nutrition in children less than 2 years in the district. Multipronged and convergence approach is needed to combat menace of child malnutrition.
