Effective breastfeeding technique and associated factors among lactating mothers in Gidan District, North-East, Ethiopia: a community-based cross-sectional study.

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 assess effective breastfeeding technique (EBT) and associated factors among lactating mothers in Gidan District, North-East Ethiopia.
designA community-based cross-sectional study.
settingGidan District, North-East Ethiopia.
participantsA total of 786 lactating mothers were included between 30 March and 29 April 2021. OUTCOME: EBT.
methodsA multistage sampling technique was employed to recruit participants. Pretested interviewer-administered questionnaires and an observational checklist were used to collect the data. Individual scores of three variables about breast feeding, namely positioning, attachment and suckling, were computed to generate the outcome variable, that is, breastfeeding technique. Binary logistic regression analyses were carried out to determine the association between independent variables and EBT. Statistical significance was declared at a value of p≤0.05 with a corresponding 95% CI.
resultsOverall, the prevalence of EBT was 42.9% (326/760). Having antenatal care follow-up (adjusted OR (AOR)=1.75; 95% CI 1.10 to 2.77), delivering at health institutions (hospital AOR=2.85; 95% CI 1.22 to 6.66 and health centre AOR=2.15; 95% CI 1.25 to 3.68), and receiving postpartum home visits by the health extension workers (HEWs) (AOR=2.12; 95% CI 1.55 to 2.92) were significantly associated with the practice of EBT.
conclusionThe study showed that the prevalence of EBT was low. The finding highlights the importance of promoting utilisation of antenatal care follow-up, institutional delivery and postpartum home visits by HEWs, which play a substantial role in promoting EBT.
