Effect of neonatal breast crawl on breastfeeding: a prospective cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Aim: To analyse the effect of breast crawl on neonatal breastfeeding within 5 months of delivery. Design: Prospective Cohort Study. Methods: Neonates were divided into successful and failed groups, according to whether the newborn crawled to the breast and began sucking for the first time within 1 h after delivery. The initiation of lactation and breastfeeding duration of the two groups were analysed at 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, the feeding practices were followed-up on the 7th day, 42nd day, and 5th month in order to explore the long-term benefits of breast crawl on breastfeeding. Results: A total of 163 neonates were included. The initiation time and the duration of first feeding, the lactation initiation in the successful group was earlier, the scores of first and in-hospital breastfeeding scales were higher. Public Contribution: Breast crawl is the preferred method for mothers to begin breastfeeding. The delivery room is the place where the first breast crawl occurs immediately after delivery. The midwife is the key person to protect this valuable behavior. Therefore, the midwife needs provide valuable opportunities for the breast crawl of the newborn and promote this behavior.
