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.

For the demographic data, percentage was employed while chi-square statistical tool was employed to test the hypotheses at 0.05 significant level. Results: Nursing mothers in Ifelodun Local Government Area have high knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding (N=76.8%). Also, maternal demographics of age (X2= 25P=0.03), educational status (X2= 62.72; P=0.00), religious affiliation (X2= 11.01; P=0.01) and number of parity (X2= 84.01; P=0.02) have significant impact on mothers' knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding.
