Welcoming, supportive care in US birthing facilities and realization of breastfeeding goals.
Article in Midwifery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundEmotional and physical support for birthing parents is positively associated with realization of their breastfeeding goals. However, few studies have investigated maternal descriptions of their postnatal unit experience of these domains. RESEARCH
aimThe objective was to investigate maternal report of their birthing facility experiences and quantify the extent to which accounts of postpartum support were associated with meeting their breastfeeding goals.
methodsAfter IRB review, data were obtained through an online survey distributed from November 2016-May 2017. This analysis utilizes data from 2,771 birthing parents who were at least 18 years of age, experienced maternity care in the United States within five years, and reported that they had intended to breastfeed. Bivariate analysis was followed by logistic regression controlling for significant covariates.
resultsIn this sample of primarily non-Hispanic white birthing parents with intent to exclusively breastfeed, the following postnatal unit variables were associated with higher odds of meeting their breastfeeding goals, birthing parents feeling: welcomed (adjusted OR=1.36), that health care promoted their physical health (adjusted OR=1.41), that care promoted their emotional health (adjusted OR=1.38), that they were supported (adjusted OR=1.56), and that they were recognized by their health care team (adjusted OR=1.30). All the measured postnatal unit support variables were significantly correlated with each other, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.15 to 0.81.
conclusionsBefore the COVID-19 pandemic, birthing parents' experiences on the postnatal unit were interrelated and associated with meeting their breastfeeding goals. As health care services are reviewed and prioritized during the COVID-19 pandemic and as part of ongoing strengthening of systems, qualitative and observational research can address the mechanisms underlying breastfeeding outcomes to inform the provision of more holistic and effective support.
