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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveGermany is only moderately breastfeeding-friendly, according to a systematic inventory from 2019. Based on a reference study, a survey on the acceptance of breastfeeding in public was conducted. The aim of the work is to capture perceptions and attitudes towards public breastfeeding in a periodic comparison. In addition, differences between the general population and mothers of young children as well as between mothers with different levels of education are considered. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn 2020, 1007 people aged 16 and older and 307 mothers with children up to 24 months were surveyed online about public breastfeeding. The results were compared with a previous survey from 2016.
resultsIn 2020, a larger percentage of mothers breastfeed in public than in 2016; it is avoided less often. Mothers with lower levels of education are less likely to breastfeed, also in public, and more likely to report mixed reactions. Among the general population, acceptance of public breastfeeding has declined, for example, in gastronomy. About one in six (17%) explicitly rejects breastfeeding in public. Knowledge about the health effects of breastfeeding is lower among the general public than among mothers. As in 2016, knowledge about the positive effects of breastfeeding is associated with greater acceptance of public breastfeeding.
conclusionsThe results underline the importance of measures, for example, to communicate knowledge to the population, show breastfeeding more frequently in mass media and through positive role models, and make the settings in which families live more breastfeeding-friendly. Measures should pay special attention to women with lower levels of education.
