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
Dietary aflatoxins (AF) exposure in early childhood may contribute to growth restriction. The Mycotoxin Mitigation Trial (MMT) was a cluster-randomized trial designed to assess the effect of providing low-AF maize and groundnut flours (intervention) on infant growth compared to those consuming typically available flours (standard of care [SoC]). The SoC serves as a control, representing the normal frequency and concentration ranges of AF in this region. MMT initiated at infant age 6 months and ended at 18 months, with the intervention group receiving low-AF flours monthly throughout. This sub-study served as one check point in the MMT to assess if there was a difference in AF frequency and concentration in high-risk foods between the two arms. At the MMT midpoint (infant age 12 months), infant foods were collected during household visits within 20 pre-selected clusters (10/arm). Maize/groundnut blend and groundnut flours used in the preparation of foods consumed by infants were analyzed for total AFs by ELISA, with 10% confirmed by HPLC. In total 559 foods were sampled; sampling was on one occasion per household. Chi-square test was used to compare categories of AF contamination in infant foods, and an unpaired
