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: Micronutrient deficiencies continue to affect millions globally, particularly pregnant women and children. This study aims to identify the determinants of Micronutrient Powder (MNP) coverage among children aged 6-23 months in Nyarugenge District, Rwanda. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 380 children aged 6-23 months. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21. Logistic regression was employed to assess the determinants of MNP coverage. Results: The study found that 71.1% of children received MNP. Children aged 12-17 months (AOR = 1.63, 95% CI: 1.005-2.483, p = 0.046); 18-23 months (AOR = 2.14, 95% CI: 1.061-4.335, p = 0.034); Attendance at postnatal care (PNC) (AOR = 2.62, 95% CI: 1.346-5.097, p = 0.004), participation in supplementary feeding programs (AOR = 2.94, 95% CI: 1.214-7.109, p = 0.017), and having married mothers (AOR = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.033-3.306, p = 0.037) were positively associated with MNP coverage. Conversely, mothers aged 30-40 years (AOR = 0.14, 95% CI: 0.026-0.771, p = 0.024), UBUDEHE-2 (AOR = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.162-0.906, p = 0.031) were negatively associated with MNP coverage. Conclusion: Integrating MNP distribution with maternal and child health services could enhance MNP coverage and adherence.
