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
Children who are HIV-exposed and uninfected (CHEU) are at increased risk for poor growth, health, and development compared to children who are HIV-unexposed and uninfected. To support families with CHEU, we assessed the acceptability of engaging family members to support women living with HIV (WLWH) with exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) and antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence and to engage in responsive infant caregiving. We conducted trials of improved practices, a consultative research approach, that follows participants over time as they try recommended behaviors. We enrolled postpartum women in Lusaka, Zambia, who identified home supporters. At visit 1, WLWH were interviewed about current practices. At visit 2, WLWH and home supporters received tailored EBF, responsive care, and ART adherence counseling. At visit 3, WLWH and home supporters were interviewed about their experiences trying recommended practices for 2-3 weeks. Interview transcripts were analyzed thematically. Participants included 23 WLWH, 15 male partners, and 8 female family members. WLWH reported several barriers to EBF. The most common were fear of HIV transmission via breastfeeding-despite high ART adherence-and insufficient breastmilk. After counseling, WLWH reported less fear of HIV transmission and improved breastfeeding practices. Home supporters reported providing WLWH increased support for EBF and ART adherence and practicing responsive caregiving. Both male and female home supporters appreciated being included in counseling and more involved in caregiving, and WLWH valued the increased support. Families with CHEU need focused support. Tailored counseling and family support for WLWH show promise for improving EBF, responsive caregiving, and ART adherence.
