Effects of bilateral early breast sucking and unilateral early breast sucking within 2 h after delivery on lactation, breast distending pain and postpartum lochia.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveTo investigate the effects of bilateral early breast sucking and unilateral early breast sucking within 2 h after delivery on lactation, breast distending pain and postpartum lochia.
methodsThe clinical data of 128 parturients were analyzed retrospectively. According to the different ways of early breast suction, the parturients were divided into control group (n=64) and observation group (n=64). Among them, unilateral early sucking was performed within 2 h after delivery in the control group, while bilateral early sucking was carried out in the observation group. We compared the lactation, breast distending pain, postpartum lochia, nutritional status, coagulation index, complications and breast feeding success rate.
resultsThe lactation amount of the observation group was higher than that of the control group on the 3rd, 5th and 7th day after delivery; the VAS scores showed opposite trends; the amount of lochia in the observation group was less than that in the control group; the ALb, PA and Hb levels in the observation group were higher on the 7th day after delivery. Compared with the control group, the FIB, PT and APTT time was shorter and the D-D level was higher; the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage, galactostasis and postpartum depression in the observation group was lower, and the success rate of feeding on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day after delivery was higher in the observation group seven days after intervention.
conclusionBilateral early breast sucking within 2 h after delivery is helpful to increase lactation and reduce breast distending pain and postpartum lochia. It also promotes maternal nutritional status and coagulation function, reduces the incidence of postpartum complications, and improves the breastfeeding rate.
