Hospital practices and breastfeeding in Rio de Janeiro: data from the Nascer no Brasil II Survey.
Article in Revista de saude publica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo investigate the association between hospital practices and breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding at two months of age, and the main reasons for pre-lacteal feeding.
methodsThis is an analysis of the state of Rio de Janeiro, 2021-2023, from Pesquisa Nascer no Brasil II, a hospital-based cohort. We collected data during hospitalization for delivery and at two months of age. Logistic regression was used to analyse factors associated with breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding.
results959 mothers and babies were included and calibrated to represent 1,537 puerperal women at baseline. Around 60% of women breastfed at first hour of life, and almost 90% breastfed in the first 24 hours and practiced exclusive breastfeeding at hospital discharge. Around 95% of women were breastfeeding at two months, 61.4% exclusively. The chance of breastfeeding was significantly higher among women who had given birth in BFHI hospitals (OR = 2.35), had ≥ 12 years of schooling (OR = 1.96), had ≥ 3 previous births (OR = 4.35), intended to breastfeed for ≥ 1 year (OR = 1.58) and felt supported after discharge (OR = 6.91). While the chance of exclusive breastfeeding was higher among women with public funding for childbirth (OR = 1.33), with ≥ 16 years of schooling (OR = 2.27), who lived with a partner (OR = 1.33), and who intended to breastfeed for ≥ 1 year (OR = 1.49). Pre-lacteal feeding PLF at hospital discharge was negatively associated with breastfeeding (OR = 0.04) and exclusive breastfeeding (OR = 0.15), and was more frequent in the private sector (20.4%), among "early-term" (18.3%), and caesarean sections (15.6%).
conclusionBreastfeeding promotion policies have been effective in almost universalizing breastfeeding at two months of age. However, in order to increase the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding, it is necessary to expand and qualify support, management and information on exclusive breastfeeding, focus on vulnerable populations, reduce caesarean sections and improve hospital practices such as regulating the use of pre-lacteal feeding.
