Effectiveness of breastfeeding education compared to standard hospital information on exclusive breastfeeding among mothers: A systematic review.
Review in Journal of education and health promotion, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Breastfeeding is the single intervention with the largest impact on the health of a new-born baby. Evidence has to be generated to convince the mother as well as policy-makers for the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for 6 months. This study aimed to assess the evidence for the effectiveness of breastfeeding education compared with standard hospital information among mothers on the rate of EBF. The study design is systematic review. Trials which are randomized or cluster randomized which studied the effect of educational interventions for mothers on EBF were searched for. Two databases were searched, namely PubMed and Cochrane. Manual search of reference lists of all included studies in Google scholar and Clinical Trial Registry was done. Two reviewers independently assessed the quality of the included studies. Data were extracted using a table format set by the reviewers referring the previously reported high-quality systematic reviews. Out of the 12 comparisons of nine studies included for review, eight studies report that breastfeeding education has added advantage on increasing the rate of EBF. We conclude that there is evidence to support breastfeeding education versus standard hospital information across diverse settings.
