The breastfeeding experiences of COVID-19-positive women: A qualitative study in Turkey.
Article in Japan journal of nursing science : JJNS, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
aimThe aim of the study was to determine the breastfeeding experiences of COVID-19-positive women.
methodsThis was a qualitative study of 14 women diagnosed with COVID-19. One-to-one telephone interviews were conducted and recorded. The data were analyzed thematically.
resultsThree main themes were identified. Theme 1 was "increased emotional load," outlining the emotional effects of the disease in the women, such as feeling sad and inadequate, in addition to anxiety and fear. Theme 2 was "breastfeeding during the disease," which illustrated the effects of the treatment process on the women, the disease-related symptoms, their influence on breastfeeding attitudes and behavior, and the effects of social media and television. Theme 3 was "perceived social support and need," defining the social support perceived and expected by the women during isolation with needs.
conclusionWomen who could not get the professional support they expected had to face the difficult choice between taking medical treatment and breastfeeding. Many women refused drug treatment for COVID-19 and continued to breastfeed with all the resultant emotional and physical difficulties, as they believed in the benefits of mother's milk. The experiences of the women were discussed with an approach that enabled developing health care services further. It was concluded that Turkish health care professionals need to develop an evidence-based and female-centered approach for COVID-19 management in breastfeeding women.
