Early initiation of breastfeeding and colostrum feeding among mothers of children aged less than 24 months in Debre Tabor, northwest Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC research notes, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveTo assess early initiation of breastfeeding and colostrum feeding practice among mothers of children aged less than 24 months in Debre Tabor.
resultTwo hundred ninety-seven (297) mothers of children aged less than 24 months participated which made the response rate of 98.1%. Among a total of 297 participants, early initiation of breastfeeding was practiced by 76.8% of mothers. Nearly three-fourths (74.4%) of mothers gave colostrum to their index child. The prevalence colostrums feeding and early initiation of breast feeding is low in Debre Tabor. Improving practice of initiation of breastfeeding and colostrums is recommended by counseling women regarding breastfeeding during ANC visit.
