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
Objective: To assess the magnitude of parental hygienic complementary feeding practices (PHCFPs) and their associated factors among mothers with children aged 6-23 months in Antsokia Gemza district, Ethiopia, in 2022. Methodology: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Antsokia Gemza district, North Shoa, Ethiopia, from 25 June to 22 July 2022. A systematic random sampling technique was applied to select study participants. A total of 391 respondents participated in the study. All mothers (biological mothers, grandmothers, sisters and others) taking responsibility for caring for a child of age 6-23 months were included in the study. Data were collected by using interviewer-administrated questionnaires. Data were entered into Epi-Data V.3.1 and exported to SPSS V.25 for data cleaning and further analysis. Bivariable and multivariable binary logistic regression were employed to identify predictor variables of hygienic practice in complementary feeding with a p value <0.25 entered into the multivariable logistic regression model. Independent variables with a 95% CI and p values <0.05 in multivariable logistic regression were considered statistically significant. Result: The magnitude of good parental hygienic practice during complementary feeding of their children aged 6-23 months was 45.3%, with a 95% CI (40.2%-50%). Maternal age of 34-41 years (adjusted odd ratio (AOR): 2.75, 95% CI (1.16-6.53)), secondary school educated mothers (AOR: 8.2, 95% CI (3.26-20.97)), daily laborer mothers (AOR: 0.22, 95% CI (0.06-0.83)), access to pipe water (AOR: 7.1, 95% CI (3.98-12.66)), access to media (AOR: 2.8, 95% CI (1.4-5.7)), and having a positive attitude (AOR: 8.6, 95% CI (2.43-31.0)) were significant predictors of maternal hygienic complementary feeding practice . Conclusions: The magnitude of good maternal hygienic complementary feeding practice was low. Hence, the district health office, education office, communication office and water and energy office should work hard jointly on maternal education, pipe water supply, awareness creation and information dissemination.
