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
Purpose: During the postpartum period, women undergo physical, social, and emotional changes, with misconceptions regarding postpartum nutrition resulting in high neonatal mortality rates. Traditional nutritional beliefs and practices during pregnancy, childbirth, and postnatal care differ among cultures. We assessed nutritional beliefs and practices among mothers during the puerperal period. Patients and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2021 to April 2022 using an online survey questionnaire regarding beliefs and practices on nutrition during the puerperal period with a sample of 381 mothers. Descriptive statistics were used to report sociodemographic characteristics and nutritional beliefs and practices. ANOVA and two-sample independent Results: Mothers did not avoid food and water after normal delivery. Many preferred Arabic coffee and peel. Age predicted the total scores of nutritional beliefs and practices, with a positive correlation between nutritional beliefs and practices. New mothers followed certain nutritional customs, such as consuming herbs postpartum. Mothers who had only completed high school or less obtained higher scores on nutritional belief evaluations, and those with ≥5 children displayed a greater number of nutritional beliefs. Those who delivered their first and second children naturally prioritized their dietary habits more than those who had a cesarean delivery. Conclusion: The findings suggest complex relationships among various factors and postpartum dietary choices.
