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.

Abstract
Background: Complementary feeding of infants in refugee settlements remains inadequate. Furthermore, there has been limited evaluation of interventions addressing these nutrition challenges. Objective: This study examined the effects of a peer-led integrated nutrition education intervention on infant complementary feeding by South Sudanese refugee mothers in the West-Nile region in Uganda. Methods: A community-based randomized trial enrolled 390 pregnant women (during third trimester) as the baseline. Two arms [mothers-only and parents-combined (both mothers and fathers)] comprised treatments with a control. Infant feeding was assessed using WHO and UNICEF guidelines. Data were collected at Midline-II and Endline. The medical outcomes study (MOS) social support index was used to measure social support. An overall mean score of >4 was considered optimal social support, a score of ≤2 was none or little support. Adjusted multivariable logistic regression models determined the effects of the intervention on infant complementary feeding. Results: At the end of the study, infant complementary feeding improved significantly in both mothers-only and parents-combined arms. There was a positive effect on the introduction of solid, semisolid, and soft foods (ISSSF) in the mothers-only arm at both Midline-II {adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 4.0]} and Endline (AOR = 3.8). Likewise, ISSSF was better for the parents-combined arm at both Midline-II (AOR = 4.5) and Endline (AOR = 3.4). Minimum dietary diversity (MDD) was significantly better at the Endline for the parents-combined arm (AOR = 3.0). Minimum acceptable diet (MAD) was significantly better at Endline for both mothers-only (AOR = 2.3) and parents-combined arms (AOR = 2.7). Infant consumption of eggs and flesh foods (EFF) was improved only in the parents-combined arm at both Midline-II (AOR = 3.3) and Endline (AOR = 2.4). Higher maternal social support was associated with better infant MDD (AOR = 3.3), MAD (AOR = 3.6), and EFF (AOR = 4.7). Conclusion: Engaging both fathers and mothers in care groups benefited complementary feeding of infants. Overall, this peer-led integrated nutrition education intervention through care groups improved infant complementary feeding in the West-Nile postemergency settlements in Uganda.This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT05584969.
