Barriers in continuing exclusive breastfeeding among working mothers in primary health care in the ministry of health in Al-Ahsa region, Saudi Arabia.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
objectivesAssessing the obstacles that hinder the continued EBF of mothers working in primary health care (PHC) in Saudi Arabia, particularly in the Al-Ahsa region.
methodIn this analytic cross-sectional study, 280 mothers working in PHC, who were conveniently selected, answered a self-administered questionnaire to evaluate the barriers in continuing breastfeeding.
resultsIn the study, 69.5% (
conclusionNearly half of PHC working mothers in Al-Ahsa were exclusively breastfed their infants. Early return to work, deficient breastfeeding work support, insufficient breast milk and lack of time were the major barriers to EBF. Lack of nursing breaks, lactation places, and expressed milk storing facilities inside PHCCs are the major work-related barriers to continuity of EBF.
