Colostrum Feeding among Newborns Visiting the Outpatient Department of Pediatrics of a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Colostrum is the thick yellowish breast milk that is produced during the first 3-5 days of childbirth. Feeding colostrum protects the newborn from various diseases, thus promoting the overall well-being of the newborn. The objective of this study was to find out the prevalence of colostrum feeding among newborns visiting the Department of Pediatrics in a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was done among infants presenting to the Department of Pediatrics in a tertiary care centre. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 2078/079/107). The duration of study was six month from 12 February 2022 to 12 August 2022. A pre-designed questionnaire was used for face-to-face interviews. Convenience sampling was done. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated. Results: Among 350 newborns, colostrum was fed to 305 (87.14%) (83.63-90.65, 95% Confidence Interval) newborns. A total of 180 (59.02%) were breastfed within 1 hour of delivery. Conclusions: The prevalence of colostrum feeding was higher in our study than in other studies done in similar settings. Keywords: colostrum; exclusive breastfeeding; newborns; prevalence.
