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: Millets are nutrient-rich, ability to thrive in challenging climate were integral to traditional Indian diets. However, their intake has reduced in diet. This study aims to assess the prevalence of anemia among women in Andhra Pradesh and to determine the association between millet-based local recipe talk in the mother's kitchen and maternal anemia. Methods: A community-based cohort study enrolled 345 mothers across three regions of Andhra Pradesh, India, in 2024-2025. Baseline data included sociodemographic characteristics, 24-hour dietary recalls (3 nonconsecutive days), anthropometry, and hemoglobin estimation of mothers. A 12-week intervention delivered weekly millet recipe talks in mothers' kitchens/Anganwadi centers, with hands-on cooking using nine millets and two pseudo millets. Endline assessments of 24-hour dietary recalls (3 nonconsecutive days), anthropometry, and hemoglobin estimation in mothers were conducted. Results: Most mothers were predominantly aged 21-30 years. Tribal groups had higher rates of early marriage (under 18 years), reaching 18 (32.73%) in Uttar Andhra. Most mothers were housewives, and husbands were daily laborers. Rural participants had a medium standard of living, 159 (88.33%), whereas tribal participants had a low standard of living 41 (74.55%) in Coastal Andhra. Anemia was present among 266 (77.1%) mothers at baseline, with higher maternal/husband education linked to lower risk ( Conclusion: Culturally tailored, hands-on millet recipe interventions significantly enhance nutrient intake and reduce anemia severity. Scaling such community-led approaches through Anganwadi networks offers a sustainable strategy to combat maternal anemia.
