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.

2 · The registry

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

Emmott et al. (2020) presented in this journal an analysis of different types of postnatal support that mothers in the UK experience and their relationship to breastfeeding status at two months. This paper is a commentary by two participants in the study. It draws on the research literature alongside recent lived experiences of breastfeeding and formula feeding in the UK to question and expand on Emmott et al.'s analysis. It highlights how a decision to stop breastfeeding in the current UK context may lead to experiencing a lack of support from healthcare professionals. We argue that a family-centred approach to infant feeding should acknowledge the benefits and costs of all infant feeding methods and enable all families to be fully informed and supported in feeding their babies.
