Individualized intervention to improve rates of exclusive breastfeeding: A randomised controlled trial.
Trial report in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 26 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

Abstract
backgroundDespite breastfeeding is significant benefits for maternal and infant, the discontinuation of breastfeeding is high. Some of studies showed that the effect of intervention in improving the rate of exclusively breastfeeding is unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of individualized intervention compared with routine care in improving rates of exclusive breast feeding.
methodsWomen were divided into two groups. We provided individual antenatal breastfeeding education and postnatal lactation support to intervention group. Control group received routine care. Significance was set at P < .05.
resultsWe recruited 352 women of whom 176 were randomized to intervention group, 176 to control group. In total, 293 (83.2%) completed 4 months of follow-up. At discharge from hospital, 43.2% of women randomized to intervention group were exclusively breastfeeding compared with 30.0% of women in control group (relative risk 1.78; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.12-2.82). At 4 months, 70.9% of women in the intervention group were exclusively breastfeeding compared with 46.2% of the women in the control group (2.84; 1.76-4.60). At discharge from hospital, 95.1% of women in the intervention group were breastfeeding on demand compared with 68.1% of women receiving routine care (9.00; 4.09-19.74). At 4 months, 94.6% of women in intervention group were breastfeeding on demand compared with 75.9% of women in the control group (5.57; 2.48-12.49).
conclusionThe regular ongoing individualized antenatal education and postnatal support can effective increase the rates of exclusive breastfeeding from delivery to postpartum 4 months and change the breastfeeding behavior.
