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: For children to grow and develop to their full potential, the first 2 years of life are critical. Infectious disease incidence and associated mortality can be reduced by optimal complementary feeding practices. Studies on these practices and determinants, however, are few in this field. The purpose of this study is to close this information gap. Methods: Between January 15 and February 15, 2021, 565 mothers of children ages 6 to 23 months participated in a community-based comparative cross-sectional study in Durame town and Kedida Gamela district. Structured questionnaires were used to gather data through in-person interviews, and SPSS Version 25 was used for analysis. Determinants of complementary feeding practices were identified through bivariate and multivariable logistic regression, utilizing adjusted odds ratios with a 95% confidence interval Results: Complementary feeding practice magnitudes in rural and urban areas were 13.1% and 25.1%, respectively. The mother's knowledge of good complementary feeding (AOR = 5.13, 95% CI: 1.68, 15.65) and household food insecurity (AOR = 3.5, 95% CI: 1.4, 8.75) was associated with optimal complementary feeding practices in rural areas, while child age (AOR = 3.57, 95% CI: 1.08, 11.805), postnatal care (AOR = 2.58, 95% CI: 1.28, 5.16), and the mother's awareness about complementary feeding practices (AOR = 4.5, 95% CI: 1.13, 14.17) were associated with good complementary feeding practices in urban settings. Conclusion and Recommendation: In comparison with rural areas, the magnitude of optimal complementary feeding practice is significantly higher in urban areas. Integration of nutrition education and infant and young child feeding into maternal and child health services is essential to improving child feeding practices.
