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: Globally, one in two children aged 6 to 23 months fails to meet recommended dietary practices, with 70% fail to meet dietary diversity or meal frequency. This study assessed factors associated with the minimum acceptable diet (MAD) among children aged 6 to 23 months in Rwanda. Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized secondary data from the 2019-2020 Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey (RDHS), analyzing 1,203 children. Weighted data were analyzed using STATA version 17, employing bivariate and multivariable logistic regression at a 5% significance level. Results: The prevalence of MAD was 23.9%. Among breastfed children aged 6-8 months, 27.09% achieved the minimum meal frequency (MMF), while only 11.9% of children aged 9-23 months met the MMF. Significant factors associated with MAD included residence in the Eastern Province (AOR: 1.66; 95% CI: 1.02-2.27), access to nutrition-related information (AOR: 1.72; 95% CI: 1.03-2.41), and household wealth, with the richest households showing the highest odds (AOR: 5.93; 95% CI: 3.08-11.42). Delivery in health facilities also increased odds (AOR: 3.42; 95% CI: 1.20-9.77). Conclusion: The low prevalence of MAD highlights the need for promoting dietary diversity and meal frequency, support low-income households to improve child feeding practices.
