Development and Validation of the Breastfeeding Literacy Assessment Instrument (BLAI) for Obstetric Women.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundDespite international efforts to protect and promote exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for infants up to six months of age, global rates of EBF continue to fall short of the targets proposed by the WHO for 2025. Previous studies have shown a relationship between the level of health literacy and the duration of EBF, although this relationship was not determinant, probably due to the use of a generic health literacy questionnaire. Therefore, this study aims to design and validate the first specific breastfeeding literacy instrument.
methodsA Breastfeeding Literacy instrument was developed. Content validation was carried out by a group of 10 experts in health literacy, breastfeeding or instrument validation, obtaining a Content Validity index in Scale (S-CVI/Ave) of 0.912. A multicentre cross-sectional study was carried out in three Spanish hospitals to determine the psychometric properties (construct validity and internal consistency). The questionnaire was administered to 204 women during the clinical puerperium.

conclusionsThe Breastfeeding Literacy Assessment Instrument (BLAI) consisting of 26 items was validated.
