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
Purpose/Background: Malnutrition and incomplete immunization remain major public health challenges in India. This study has been conducted to determine whether a child's immunization status has an influence on their nutritional status. Aims: (1) To assess the nutritional status and primary immunization coverage in children aged 12-23 months. (2) To determine the association between sociodemographic factors, nutritional status, and immunization status. Methods: A comparative community-based cross-sectional study was conducted over four months (from March to June 2023) involving children aged 12-23 months in both urban and rural practice areas associated with the Osmania Medical College. The study included a sample of 400 children, 200 from urban settings and 200 from rural locations, selected using a multistage sampling approach. Chi-square test and binary logistic regression were used for statistical analysis. Results: The coverage of full immunization, partial immunization, and nonimmunization in urban area is 65%, 34%, and 1%, while in rural area is 48.5%, 49%, and 2.5%, respectively. Underweight, stunted, wasted, and severe acute malnutrition (SAM) children in the urban area are 26%, 23.5%, 11%, and 3.5%, while in rural area, underweight, stunted, wasted, and SAM children are 26%, 32%, 16%, and 5.5%. Statistical analysis shows significant associations between malnutrition and immunization status and various types of malnutrition and independent variables, factors like immunization status, residence, family type, socioeconomic status, and mother's age showed a significant association. Conclusions: Though progress has been made, achieving universal coverage for nutrition and immunization requires collaboration, planning and monitoring, and systemic changes across all levels of healthcare.
