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
backgroundIn early preterm and very low birth weight, breast milk expression is an optimal solution to continue with breastfeeding. This study aimed to assess the initiation of breast milk expression and associated factors among preterm and low birth weight mothers in the neonatal intensive care units of public hospitals in Addis Ababa.
methodsInstitution-based cross-sectional study was performed in selected public hospitals, Addis Ababa, among 124 breast feeding mothers chosen from different public health facilities of Addis Ababa; from April 5 to May 15, 2020. Information was collected using questionnaires administered by the interviewer, double data entry was performed using Epi Info version 4.6.02 software, cleaned finally exported to SPSS statistics version 26 for analysis. To predict the association of research variables, logistic regression models were used and adjusted for potential confounders.
resultsAll respondents were started milk expression after six hours following delivery. Getting instruction on the method of their choice (AOR=0.55; CI=0.31 to 0.96) and gestational age ≤32 weeks (AOR=2.39; CI=1.34 to 4.24) were factors significantly associated with initiation of milk expression.
conclusionThe study indicated breast milk expression was poor. Inter-departmental collaboration is required in order to promote good practice of breast milk expression among mothers of neonates with preterm and low birth weight.
