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
Purpose: To understand malnutrition recovery at a Guatemalan Nutrition Rehabilitation Center (NRC) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design and methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on-site in November 2022. The NRC is located on the outskirts of Antigua, Guatemala. They manage the care of 15-20 children at a time, providing food, medicine, and health assessments. A total of 156 records were included (126 prior to the onset of COVID; 30 after the onset of COVID). Descriptive variables collected were age, gender, severity of malnutrition, height, weight, amoxicillin, multivitamins, nebulizer/bronchodilator, and zinc. Principal results: There was no significant difference in time-to-recovery between COVID cohorts. Mean time-to-recovery was 5.65 weeks, or 39.57 days (SD = 25.62, 95% CI [35.5, 43.7]) among all recovered cases ( Major conclusions: Conducting a family needs assessment on admission could identify sociocultural factors that may facilitate nutritional recovery, such as housing conditions and potable water access. Further research is needed to more fully understand the complexities that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on childhood malnutrition recovery.
