Sources of Information and Support for Breastfeeding: Alignment with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Strategies.
Article in Breastfeeding medicine : the official journal of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03341858 (STRONG Kids 2), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesResearch consistently supports health benefits of breastfeeding; however, rates in the United States remain below Healthy People 2020 goals. To increase breastfeeding, information and support are needed from multiple sources. Given differences in breastfeeding rates by demographic characteristics, sources of information and support may also differ. In addition, recent research suggests potential differences in health outcomes related to feeding method (direct breastfeeding only, feeding expressed human milk, combination-feeding with formula). This study examined (1) information and support received within Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-defined strategies for supporting breastfeeding mothers, (2) differences in rates of information and support received by demographics, and (3) associations with feeding method at 6 weeks postpartum. MATERIALS AND
methodsA sample of 447 women participating in the Synergistic Theory Research Obesity and Nutrition Group (STRONG) Kids 2 study completed surveys with questions from the CDC Survey on Infant Feeding Practices II related to sources of information and support for breastfeeding and breast pump use, and about demographics and feeding method at 6 weeks postpartum.
resultsFrequencies of supports received within each category indicate that professional supports were the most pervasive, followed by support from friends and relatives. However, women at greater risk for breastfeeding cessation (lower education, Women, Infants, and Children participants, single mothers) received information and support at lower rates. Education and information support was the only source significantly associated with feeding method.
conclusionNew approaches are needed to increase efficacy of information delivery, especially for at-risk populations, to better meet CDC recommendations.
