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
backgroundAddressing good breastfeeding practices among antenatal and postnatal mothers is important as it helps in bringing about a positive change in the behavior, attitude, and practice with appropriate health education. Hence, this study was done to determine the awareness level of antenatal and postnatal mothers about the breastfeeding practices and benefits and identify the factors associated with it in rural Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu, India. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted this community-based cross-sectional study among 377 antenatal and postnatal mothers in the selected rural villages of Chengalpattu between October 2019 and September 2020. Details regarding the sociodemographic characteristics and awareness/knowledge about the breastfeeding were collected using pretested semistructured questionnaire. Knowledge adequacy was summarized as proportion with 95% confidence interval (CI), and factors associated with knowledge were interpreted as adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR) with 95% CI using log-binomial regression.
resultsAbout 19.6% (95% CI: 15.7%-24.0%) mothers had inadequate knowledge about breastfeeding. Women who were unemployed (aPR = 1.60; 95% CI: 1.02-2.51), belonging to the lower socioeconomic status (aPR = 2.62; 95% CI: 1.80-3.82), belonging to Muslim religion (aPR = 1.63; 95% CI: 1.14-2.35), and living in joint family (aPR = 1.58; 95% CI: 1.12-2.21) had significant higher risk of inadequate knowledge about breastfeeding practices compared to those who were employed, belonging to puper socioeconomic status, Hindu religion, and living in nuclear family.
conclusionWe found that almost one-fifth of the antenatal and/or postnatal mothers had inadequate knowledge about the breastfeeding benefits and practices. Health education sessions are required to promote the awareness about breastfeeding during antenatal and postnatal check-ups.
