Determinants of exclusive breastfeeding cessation: identifying an "at risk population" for special support.
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 16 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
unlabelledA study was conducted with 542 women, who gave birth in the hospital G.B. Grassi in Rome, to investigate risk factors for exclusive breastfeeding. Clinical data was collected from clinical records at delivery. Information on psycho-socio-demographic characteristics was obtained by standardized questionnaires at delivery. Data on breastfeeding practice and the use of pacifier were collected at delivery and for 24 weeks' postpartum. The outcome of the study was exclusive breastfeeding for at least 4 months (yes/no). In the multivariate analysis, planned caesarean (OR 2.40, 95 % CI 1.06-5.43) and women with two or more psychological distress conditions (past episodes of depression, insomnia, perceive birth as a traumatic event) versus none were at a greater odds of stopping exclusive breastfeeding before 4 months (OR 3.42, 95 % CI 1.15-10.2). The use of pacifiers within the first 2 weeks postpartum (OR 2.38, 95 % CI 1.35-4.20) but not after 2 weeks (OR 0.86, 95 % CI 0.43-1.72) versus no use was also associated with an increased odds. A protective effect was found for antenatal classes (OR 0.57, 95 % CI 0.35-0.95).
conclusionThis study suggests that the type of delivery, antenatal classes, psychological distress conditions and the use of pacifiers in the first 2 weeks of a baby's life are independent factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding.
