Determinants of prenatal breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes and self-efficacy among Burmese migrant pregnant mothers in Samut Sakhon Province, Thailand: a cross-sectional study.

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
objectiveThe study aimed to explore the determinants of prenatal breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes and self-efficacy among Burmese migrant pregnant mothers in Samut Sakhon Province, Thailand.
designThe data were collected as part of a baseline survey of a randomised controlled trial. SETTING AND
participantsA total of 198 Burmese migrant mothers between 28th and 34th weeks of gestation were recruited from the antenatal care clinic of Samut Sakhon Hospital. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES: Breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes and self-efficacy
resultsThe prevalence of good breastfeeding knowledge was 65.7% (n=130), positive attitudes towards breast feeding were 55.1% (n=109) and high breastfeeding self-efficacy was 70.7% (n=140). Multivariate logistic regression models revealed that mothers aged above 25 years (adjusted OR, AOR 3.1, 95% CI 1.2 to 7.9), being Bamar (AOR 2.3, 95% CI 1.2 to 4.4), having support from husband (AOR 2.3, 95% CI 1.2 to 4.6) and having previous childbirth experience (AOR 2.5, 95% CI 1.3 to 4.8) were the main determinants of good breastfeeding knowledge. Similarly, being Bamar (AOR 2.8, 95% CI 1.5 to 5.3), having high school education (AOR 4.3, 95% CI 1.8 to 10.1) and having access to workplace breastfeeding support (AOR 5.3, 95% CI 1.4 to 20.1) were found to be significant predictors of positive attitudes towards breast feeding. Moreover, mothers aged above 25 years (AOR 2.9, 95% CI 1.1 to 7.8), being Bamar (AOR 2.4, 95% CI 1.2 to 5.1), being unemployed (AOR 7.8, 95% CI 1.9 to 31.9), having support of husband (AOR 3.2, 95% CI 1.5 to 7.0), having previous breastfeeding experience for 6 months or more (AOR 5.0, 95% CI 2.1 to 11.7) and having intention to exclusively breastfeed (AOR 2.7, 95% CI 1.3 to 5.8) had significant associations with high breastfeeding self-efficacy.
conclusionThe prenatal breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes and self-efficacy among Burmese migrant mothers were influenced by many factors. A comprehensive understanding of these factors will enable policy-makers and healthcare providers to develop context-specific interventions for the promotion of exclusive breast feeding among Burmese migrant mothers in Thailand.
