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: Malnutrition is a major problem, particularly among young women (aged 15-24 years) in rural India. Malnutrition not only affects their own health but may also affect the health of their future offspring. In India, there is a triple burden of malnutrition, that is, underweight, overweight, and anemia. However, only a few studies have assessed the triple burden in the community simultaneously. Therefore, we aimed to estimate the prevalence of malnutrition in a comprehensive manner and study the associated factors among young women in rural Haryana. Methodology: In this community-based study, 490 non-pregnant women aged 15-24 years were interviewed for socio-demographic details, menstrual and diet history, and anthropometry was performed. World Health Organization Asian adult body mass index cut-offs (for those aged ≥18 years) and extended International Obesity Task Force cut-offs (for those <18 years) were used to classify weight categories. Hemoglobin (Hb) concentration was estimated to identify anemia, defined as Hb concentration (<12 g/dL). The association between underweight, overweight, anemia, and selected independent variables was assessed by multivariate analysis. Results: The prevalence of underweight and overweight was 35.1% and 18.0%, respectively. The prevalence of anemia was 60.7%. The majority (98.2%) of the participants did not have adequate dietary diversity. Economic status and history of chronic disease or other infections had a significant association with being underweight. Women who were overweight had significantly lower odds of being anemic (odds ratio: 0.42; 95% confidence interval: 25-77%) ( Conclusion: The triple burden of malnutrition was high among young women residing in a rural area of Haryana, India.
