Article in Enfermeria clinica, 2023. 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
Aims: The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted breastfeeding self-efficacy directly or indirectly. This is likely due to the adverse effect of movement and community activity restrictions to prevent virus transmission. This study aims to measure how breastfeeding self-efficacy has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: This study uses a cross-sectional design with participants consisting of mothers giving birth from June to July 2021 in Bekasi, Indonesia. The recruitment used a consecutive sampling method. The data were collected using the breastfeeding self-efficacy scale-short form, the postpartum bonding questionnaire, the Zung self-rating anxiety scale, and the multidimensional scale of perceived social support. The COVID-19-related factors, i.e., anxiety, bonding and social support on breastfeeding self-efficacy, were measured using the Path Analysis. Results: The results showed that anxiety, bonding, and social support affected breastfeeding self-efficacy among the 118 respondents. While anxiety had a negative effect on breastfeeding self-efficacy, bonding and social support had a positive effect. The effect of anxiety was more direct ( Conclusion: The factors related to breastfeeding self-efficacy affected by the COVID-19 pandemic are anxiety, bonding, and social support. Interventions during a crisis such as the pandemic could aim to reduce anxiety and improve social support. Health education and counselling are essential to enhance competence and self-efficacy in breastfeeding their babies and build more positive interactions with their children.
