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: While the World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for the first 6 months, evidence on EBF practices among HIV-positive mothers in Ethiopia remains limited. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and determinants of EBF among HIV-positive mothers in the Gurage Zone and Yem Special Woreda, Central Ethiopia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from June 1 to 30, 2023, among mothers attending antiretroviral therapy (ART) and prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services. Data were collected using interviewer-administered questionnaires and analyzed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26. Logistic regression identified determinants of EBF, with significance at Results: Of 311 participants, 72.6% practiced EBF. Awareness of complementary feeding time, early breastfeeding initiation, family support, and HIV-status disclosure were determinants of EBF. Conclusion: The overall EBF among HIV-positive mothers was 72.6%. Interventions targeting the identified determinant factors could help improve mothers' adherence to EBF practices.
