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
Background: Post COVID-19 pandemic, due to lack of access to nutritional services, malnutrition prevalence has exacerbated. The role of Anganwadi workers in provision of nutrition services is important in prevention of malnutrition in the community. Aim: We aimed to assess the effectiveness of training on malnutrition on the knowledge of malnutrition among Anganwadi workers in Anekal Taluk of Bengaluru Urban District, Karnataka. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional before and after study among 381 Anganwadi workers on the knowledge of malnutrition. After 6 months of training, 303 among the 381 Anganwadi workers were reassessed for knowledge retainment. The tool used for the assessment of knowledge of malnutrition was a 10-item multiple choice questionnaire. Qualitative information regarding challenges of managing malnutrition was also collected during the training. Results: As compared to the pretest scores, 45.9% of the participants had an increase in knowledge of malnutrition immediately after the training and after 6 months. 19.81% of the participants had an increase in knowledge. During the discussion, participants shared issues of referral mechanism, anthropometry devices, complexity of the nature of malnutrition, Poshan tracker app use, and practical aspects of management of malnutrition. Recommendations: A standardized curriculum for malnutrition, improved teaching-learning methods, and assessment methods for use among community health workers and calibration and functioning anthropometry tools are essential for malnutrition training. In the community, a strong link between the primary health care system and integrated child development scheme and services is crucial in community-based management of severe and moderate acute malnutrition.
