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
objectiveThis study aims to demonstrate the effects of the NGF scorecard in enhancing accountability and governance, describing the limitations of the scorecard, and highlight the lessons learned in using the scorecard for improved nutrition governance in Nigeria.
methodThe study is a mixed retrospective descriptive study that examined the effect of the NGF nutrition scorecard on subnational nutrition accountability and governance. Secondary data was obtained through a review of strategic and operational documents and the three rounds of the NGF scorecard.
resultThe study revealed a 72% increase in the states with functional committees on food and nutrition. Similarly, there was a 37% increase in states with approved multisectoral plan of action for food and nutrition, a 22% increase in states with prioritized nutrition programs, a 25% increase in states that approved six months paid maternity leave and a 66% increase in states with functional creches.
conclusionThe development and implementation of the nutrition scorecard has facilitated progress in improving nutrition governance and accountability at the subnational level and creating an enabling environment for the implementation of nutrition interventions.
