Article in Archives of public health = Archives belges de sante publique, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07104227 (Effects of Body Mechanics Training on Shoulder-back Pain and Breastfeeding Ergonomics for Breastfeeding Mothers), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

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

backgroundBreastfeeding is considered as a protective factor against non-communicable diseases in infants and mothers. The first aim of this study was to assess the influence of ergonomic breastfeeding training on the infants' growth. The second aim was to investigate the effectiveness of this training for improving musculoskeletal disorders in mothers.

methodsIn this randomized control trial, 104 participants who were referred to the health centers in Shiraz for breastfeeding care were randomly allocated into the intervention or comparison group using a size-four block sampling method. At birth, 2, 4, and 6 months later childbirth, Rapid Upper Limb Assessment was used to assess musculoskeletal disorders in participants

resultsSignificant differences were found between groups in the priority level for corrective action in mothers' postures determined by Rapid Upper Limb Assessment at 2, 4 and 6 months after childbirth (

conclusionThis study demonstrated that ergonomic breastfeeding training reduced the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders in mothers but seems not to have any significant and consistent impact on the infants' growth.
