Antenatal and postnatal breastfeeding motivation and self-efficacy in primiparous women: a prospective observational study.
Observational study in European journal of pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
Despite widespread breastfeeding education, achieving target breastfeeding rates requires understanding the interplay between motivation and self-efficacy across the antenatal and postnatal periods. This study examined their relationship in primiparous women and identified predictors of postnatal breastfeeding self-efficacy. A prospective observational study with a correlational approach was conducted with 112 primiparous women at 32-42 weeks of gestation. Antenatal data were collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Form, Antenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (ABSES-SF), and a visual analog scale for breastfeeding motivation. Postnatally, the Postnatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (PBSES-SF), Breastfeeding Motivation Scale (BMS), LATCH Breastfeeding Assessment Tool, and Postnatal Breastfeeding Information Form were administered at the first week, first month, and second month. Significant time-dependent increases were demonstrated in BMS subdimensions, PBSES-SF, and LATCH scores (p < 0.05). Antenatal breastfeeding self-efficacy was positively associated with postnatal breastfeeding self-efficacy and selected breastfeeding motivation subdimensions. Antenatal breastfeeding motivation showed strong correlations with postnatal self-efficacy and multiple BMS subdimensions. Regression analyses revealed that motivation subdimensions significantly predicted postnatal self-efficacy at the first week (R
conclusionAntenatal motivation and self-efficacy strongly influence postnatal breastfeeding self-efficacy, with key motivational dimensions varying over time. Integrating antenatal assessment and enhancement of motivation and self-efficacy into breastfeeding education, alongside targeted postnatal support, may improve breastfeeding outcomes and contribute to healthier generations. WHAT IS KNOWN: • Breastfeeding self-efficacy is a key determinant of maternal breastfeeding behavior and plays a critical role in the nutritional outcomes of the infant. • The antenatal and postnatal periods influence each other in shaping breastfeeding behavior. WHAT IS NEW: • Breastfeeding motivation during the antenatal period influences a woman's breastfeeding behavior. • Breastfeeding self-efficacy and motivation show variation at different time points during the postpartum period. • There is a significant relationship between antenatal and postnatal breastfeeding motivation and self-efficacy.
