Is the Frequency of Postpartum Breastfeeding Counseling Associated with Exclusive Breastfeeding at Six Months? An Analytical Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Breastfeeding counseling is an essential public health tool in postpartum maternal and infant health. In this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between the frequency of postpartum breastfeeding counseling and the type of feeding outcome at six months. The study design was an analytical, cross-sectional study on mothers of 6-24-month-old children living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We conducted an analysis with descriptive statistics as well as logistic regression models. The findings from our study can be summarized in the following points: First, only 31.9% of the women in our study received postnatal breastfeeding counseling in the first six months after delivery, with the majority receiving fewer than four sessions. Second, there seemed to be a drop in exclusive breastfeeding with time: from 35.3% in the first two months to 29.7% in the second two months and then 20.7% in the final two months. Third, previous exclusive breastfeeding increased the odds of exclusive breastfeeding in the proceeding delivery. Finally, exposure to one or more postnatal breastfeeding counseling sessions increased the odds of exclusive or predominant breastfeeding in the first six months. This study helps to guide decision makers in planning maternal child health services and relevant community-based efforts.
