Social determinants of breastfeeding in Italy.
Article in African health sciences, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundBreastfeeding is surely the best way to feed an infant at least in the first six months of life.
objectiveTo investigate the social determinants of breastfeeding behaviors among Italian women.
methodsData for this study were drawn from the Italian Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) survey conducted in 2005 which comprised a nationally representative sample of 50,474 households (128,040 subjects). This 2005 ISTAT survey asked several questions to women who delivered (n = 5,812) in the past five years prior to the survey about their breastfeeding behaviours. Breastfeeding initiation rate and duration for ≥ six months were our main dependent variables while independent variables included socio demographics and health-related factors. Descriptive statistics, Pearson chi-squared test and multiple logistic regressions were performed.
resultsOur sample comprised 5,812 women. Rates of breastfeeding initiation and duration for e″ six months were respectively 82.0 percent and 70.0 percent. Social determinants of breastfeeding initiation were older ages (OR: 1.029, p = 0.019) and employment status (OR: 1.289, p = 0.032). No social factor was associated to breastfeeding duration.
conclusionRates of breastfeeding initiation and duration in Italy are rather high. Age and employment status were the main social determinants (breastfeeding initiation) found.
