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
backgroundThe first week following delivery usually coincides with the initiation of exclusive breastfeeding. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of and the associated factors regarding the initiation of exclusive breastfeeding among mothers at one week after delivery in two selected hospitals in the state of Kelantan, Malaysia.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from March to August 2015 among post-partum mothers, who were selected through systematic sampling. A newly developed and validated questionnaire on the participants' data, knowledge and attitude items and a breastfeeding practice checklist were used. The mothers were interviewed in the post-natal ward, and their breastfeeding practices were determined through a phone call at one week following delivery. Descriptive statistics and simple and multiple logistic regressions were used for the data analysis.
resultsA total of 335 participants were included. The prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding at one week post-partum was 77.9% (95% CI: 73.0%, 82.2%), with significant associated factors being previous exclusive breastfeeding experience [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 2.48; 95% CI: 1.37, 4.49;
conclusionEvery mother should receive breastfeeding education, with special emphasis on those with no previous experience. The weak areas of knowledge identified herein should be strengthened during health education.
