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
Context: The simultaneous presence of undernutrition along with overweight or obesity is known as the double burden of malnutrition (DBM). In mother-child pairs, DBM can manifest as either an undernourished child with an overnourished mother or an undernourished mother with an overnourished child. To study the prevalence of DBM in mother and child pairs in an urban resettlement colony of East Delhi. Material and Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted among 250 mother-child pairs in an urban resettlement colony of East Delhi. Data was collected by house-to-house visits using an interviewer administered questionnaire. Anthropometric measurements were recorded. Classification of nutritional status of children was conducted according to World Health Organization (WHO) child growth standards. Anthro Plus-software 2009 (WHO) was used for calculating anthropometric parameters. The weight for age, height for age and weight for height z-scores in children were computed. The data were summarized using frequencies and proportions. The Results: Among children, 43% were underweight, 46% were stunted, and 20% were wasted. Among mothers, 24% were overweight and 4% obese, while 18.4% were thin. The prevalence of DBM was observed as underweight child-overweight mother (UC-OM) 9.6%, stunted child-overweight mother (SC-OM) 12.8%, and wasted child-overweight mother (WC-OM) 4.8%. The overall prevalence of DBM in any form among mother-child pairs was 15.2%. Conclusions: There is a need for integrated nutrition strategies addressing both undernutrition in children and overnutrition in mothers within the same household.
