1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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/

objectivesBreast Milk Feeding (BMF) benefits mother and infant. However, women with select risk factors report shorter breastfeeding durations. Our previous prospective cohort observational study of a lactation-consultant-led telephone-based support program in the first month postpartum increased BMF rates up to 6 months. This post hoc study further evaluated the program for mothers at increased risk of early breastfeeding cessation.

methodsWe performed secondary analysis involving 762 mothers (control,

resultsVia MVA, the intervention was associated with increased 6-month BMF rates in these groupings [OR (95%CI),

conclusionsAlthough early postpartum telephone support was associated with a number of positive findings of improved BMF at 6 months and over the course of the study, the results were mixed. This suggests that future breastfeeding telephone-based initiatives need to be multifaceted in order to target mothers at risk of early breastfeeding cessation.
