Development of a Microsoft Excel Calculator for Infant and Young Child Feeding Indicators.
Article in Indian journal of community medicine : official publication of Indian Association of Preventive & Social Medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The accurate assessment of infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices is critical for evaluating nutritional status and guiding public health interventions. The study was planned to develop and validate a Microsoft Excel-based IYCF calculator based on the World Health Organization (WHO)-United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) 2021 IYCF indicators for its accuracy, consistency, and user-friendliness. The tool incorporated calculations of all 16 essential indicators. Logical and conditional functions were used to automate calculations. Validations were done using simulated and real databases from urban slums. The IYCF Excel Calculator was developed using Microsoft Excel on Windows 11 and compatible with Excel 2016 or later. The tool accurately calculated IYCF indicators and was user-friendly for individuals with basic knowledge of Microsoft Excel. It reduced the time and complexity of calculations. The developed Excel-based IYCF calculator is an accurate, accessible, and freely available tool for researchers and practitioners for academic and non-commercial use.
