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: Undernutrition during childhood can negatively impact a child's health, growth, cognitive abilities, and future educational and economic attainment in adulthood. Also, childhood undernutrition can lead to a higher risk of developing non-communicable diseases. Alongside several socioeconomic and environmental factors contributing to children's undernutrition, maternal nutrition literacy is of noticeable importance. The ubiquity of mobile devices and their use in daily life create new paths for health promotion interventions. Objectives: The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of the Methods: We conducted a two-arm parallel randomised controlled trial (1:1 ratio) involving 116 mothers of children aged 2-6 years with undernutrition. Participants were allocated to the intervention ( Results: There were no significant differences between baseline characteristics of mothers and children. We found that the interaction effect of time and group was significant for weight and body mass index (BMI) for age, but not significant for height for age. We also observed that the effect of time and group interaction was significant for maternal nutritional knowledge, feeding attitudes and nutrition practices. Conclusions: The maternal nutritional knowledge, attitudes and practices in the intervention group were higher than the control group. Also, children's weight and BMI for age z-scores changed more compared with the control group. Trial registration number: IRCT20140907019082N11.
