Exclusive Breastfeeding in Health Personnel: Incidence and Barriers.
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 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
Exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months (EBF) in healthcare personnel is challenging due to work schedules, high workloads, or separation issues. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and factors related to EBF in our hospital personnel. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study. Female employees who took maternity leave within 2 years were approached. A questionnaire regarding factors associated with EBF was sent to participants. Factors associated with EBF were analyzed using logistic regression analysis.
resultsThere were 110 mothers enrolled. The mean maternal age was 32.5 ± 4.21 years, 66.36% came from the nursing department, the infant's age was 6-24 months, and 46.4% of mothers had previous breastfeeding experience. Our EBF for 6 months rate was 63.6%. Breastfeeding attitude (OR = 1.12, 95%CI 1.08-1.38), perception of breastfeeding obstacle (OR = 1.45, 95%CI 1.26-1.66), breastfeeding behavior (OR = 1.17, 95%CI 1.08-1.26), and support from health system (OR = 1.09, 95%CI 1.01-1.19) were significantly associated with EBF. From multiple logistic regression models, perception of breastfeeding obstacles (aOR 1.55, 95%CI 1.27-1.90), breastfeeding behavior (aOR 1.12, 95%CI 1.01-1.24), and support from health care system (aOR 0.84, 95%CI 0.72-0.97) remain the significant factors associated with successful EBF.
conclusionSuccessful EBF was prevalent in mothers who had good attitudes to breastfeeding, perceived low levels of obstacles, and had support from the health care system.
