Breastfeeding and the Pharmacist's Role in Maternal Medication Management: Identifying Barriers and the Need for Continuing Education.
Article in The journal of pediatric pharmacology and therapeutics : JPPT : the official journal of PPAG, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Breastfeeding offers a multitude of benefits for infants, mothers, and society. Exclusive breastfeeding of infants is recommended for at least the first 6 months of life. Although transfer of drug into breastmilk can occur, most medications are safe to use during breastfeeding. Pharmacists, regarded as the most accessible health care professionals, recognize their role as medication specialists for breastfeeding women. Unfortunately, a lack of formal and continuing education on medication use during lactation often results in pharmacists providing the unnecessary recommendation to disrupt breastfeeding during medication use. In addition to lack of education, other barriers pharmacists experience in providing optimal patient care during lactation include difficulty identifying breastfeeding status and inconsistency in recommendations between scientific resources. Pharmacists must voice their need for additional continuing education and take action to close the knowledge gap and address barriers to providing care.
