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: Nutritional status is an important health indicator and children bear maximum burden of it. Poor nutrition during first thousand days of a child's life can lead to stunted growth. Comorbid condition adversely affects treatment outcome of malnutrition. This study is aimed to describe the profile and treatment outcome of malnourished children. Materials and Methods: This record-based retrospective, analytical observational study was conducted from October to December 2020. Data of severe acute malnourished children who were admitted in malnutrition treatment centre during August 2017 to September 2020, collected. Totally, 264 eligible children were enrolled in the study. The data were collected through medical records of patients. Data were entered in excel spreadsheet and analysed. Results: Most of the children belonged to 6-24 months of age, almost equal proportion of male and female, and more than three-fourth of children were from rural area. The mean length of stay in hospital was 15.19 ± 6.64 days and average weight gain of children was 7.6 ± 6.7 gm/kg/day. There was significant increase in Z-score (Weight/Height) and MUAC at the time of discharge ( Conclusion: Most vulnerable age group for malnutrition was 6 months to 2 years. Majority of children with malnutrition improve with standard treatment protocol of malnutrition. We can improve the ability of community health workers to significantly reduce child malnutrition at the primary care level and in the community by equipping them with the required knowledge, tools, and assistance.
