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 Failure to thrive (FTT) in children involves insufficient weight or height gain, affecting general and hospitalized populations which leads to cognitive and behavioral changes. Causes include inadequate caloric intake and underlying diseases (organic - OFTT) or psychosocial factors (non-organic - NOFTT). Our study in King Abdullah Specialized Children Hospital (KASCH) aims to assess FTT incidence, prevalence, and clinical characteristics, and also, to distinguish between different causes. Methodology It is a retrospective cohort study, conducted at KASCH, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This study includes children under three years old with documented FTT from 2017 to 2019. Data was collected from the hospital's electronic system and it was analyzed by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, IBM Corp., Version 29.0, Armonk, NY). Results Our study, including 214 FTT patients, revealed a balanced gender distribution of 109 males (50.9%), and 105 females (49.1%), with a majority of Saudi nationality 208 (97.2%). In most cases, 120 (56.1%) are in the 0-12 months age group. The prevalence of FTT was 26.75% (267 cases per 1000). Antenatal/post-natal features showed diverse delivery modes and NICU admissions.
