Article in European journal of midwifery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionMastitis (inflammation of the breast) occurs in 10-20% of breastfeeding women. Different levels of the health service meet the needs of women in different ways, and treatment procedures vary at a local level. As maternity care evolves, with a greater need for efficiency, and the treatment for women is also changing. The purpose of the study is to investigate women's experiences of treatment for mastitis in the interface with the health service.
methodsThe study has a qualitative design. It was conducted in 2018 and included semi-structured interviews with 11 women living throughout Norway who received treatment for mastitis. The data material was analyzed using systematic text condensation.
resultsThe analysis resulted in three themes. The first theme was the interaction with healthcare personnel and related to being treated in a caring manner. The second concerned the women's experience of feeling overwhelmed by pain and having to depend on help. The third theme related to the hospital stay and the women's experiences of how random factors govern the treatment of the disease.
conclusionsThe study shows that women who were treated for mastitis were at risk of being admitted to hospital wards characterized by a lack of knowledge about mastitis, insufficient or flawed treatment competence, and an absence of necessary equipment. Treatment should be organized in a way that enables women to be placed in wards where staff have knowledge and experience, such as maternity and gynaecological wards, as well as associated outpatient clinics.
