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
Food insecurity and inadequate dietary diversity worsen undernutrition in Ethiopia, hindering progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals and the Seqota Declaration's objective to eliminate hunger and chronic undernutrition by 2030. This study investigates the prevalence and causes of household food insecurity and dietary diversity among pregnant and lactating women (PLW) in the Seqota Declaration pilot woredas of the Tekeze River basin, situated in the Amhara and Tigray regions. A cross-sectional survey conducted from March to April 2018 sampled 2036 households across 13 Seqota Declaration woredas. Food insecurity was assessed using the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) and the Months of Adequate Household Food Provisioning (MAHFP) scale. Women's Dietary Diversity Score (WDDS) was evaluated for 642 PLW. Logistic and Poisson regression models identified predictors of food insecurity and dietary diversity, respectively. More than half of households in Tigray (55.0%) and Amhara (59.5%) experienced moderate to severe food insecurity. Only 7% of pregnant and lactating women (PLW) in Tigray and 10% in Amhara met the minimum dietary diversity requirements. Older household heads and those with lower wealth status faced a higher risk of food insecurity. Increased livestock ownership, improved land and water management practices, and greater production diversity were linked to lower odds of food insecurity.
