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
Child feeding practices are crucial for child health, growth, and development. Fathers have a vital role in optimal child-feeding practices, while traditional cultural norms dictate that men are responsible for family finances and leadership, and women are responsible for child care. Hence, this study aimed to assess father involvement in child feeding and associated factors among fathers having children aged 6-24 months in Jinka Town. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Jinka town from January 1 to February 15, 2024, on 415 randomly selected study participants. Pre-tested structured questionnaires collected data through face-to-face interviews. The data was entered into Epi Data version 3.1 and then analyzed by using SPSS version 26. Descriptive statistics, like frequency and percentage, were calculated. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis was employed. Variables with a p-value of ≤ 0.25 in bivariate analysis were included in the multivariable logistic regression at a 95% confidence interval with a p-value < 0.05 was considered to declare a significant association. Our findings revealed that 52.2% of study participants were involved in child feeding. Father's involvement in child feeding was significantly associated with monogamy marital form, counseled on child feeding, knowledge, attitude, community encouragement, and heard about fathers' involvement in child feeding. Therefore, the health professionals and Jinka Town Health Administrative Office should enhance fathers' involvement in child feeding through counseling, raising awareness, and health information dissemination by setting programs that involve fathers in child care.
