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
introductionRooming-in is an evidence-based practice during which postpartum mothers and infants stay together. Rooming-in benefits both the mother and infant, and is especially important for breastfeeding. This study aims to describe rooming-in (Step 7 of the BFHI), according to mothers and maternity-ward staff in Finnish maternity hospitals, as well as the factors associated with its implementation.
methodsThe presented research adopted a cross-sectional study approach. Questionnaires were used to collect data from mothers (n=111) who had given birth and the attending maternity-ward staff (
resultsRooming-in was utilised to a satisfactory extent, especially after vaginal birth. Most of the mothers regarded it as a very positive experience. Rooming-in was delayed mainly because of a mother's tiredness and the infant's condition. Factors such as a staff member's age, work experience, and completion of breastfeeding counselling training (WHO 20-h), a mother's parity, need for supplementation, and mode of childbirth, were found to be associated with the decision to implement rooming-in.
conclusionsRooming-in should be used more with infants born by caesarean section and primiparous mothers. The need for supplementation clearly increased when roomingin was not employed. The presented information could be crucial for effectively allocating maternity ward resources and demonstrating the importance of rooming-in to a diverse audience of health care professionals.
