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
backgroundEvidence is lacking on the phenomenon of peer-to-peer human milk-sharing in the Middle East, specifically, in Israel. RESEARCH
aimsThis study aimed to uncover peer-to-peer human milk-sharing in Israel, learn about how and whether donors engage in safe milk handling and storage practices, and assess knowledge about human milk and breastfeeding among this milk-sharing population. We also aimed to investigate donors' selectiveness in their decisions about to whom they donate their milk and their perceptions about the sale and purchase of human milk.
methodsWe conducted a semi-structured online survey, including both closed- and open-ended questions and used mixed methods to analyze responses descriptively. We used non-probability sampling to obtain a broad sample of human milk donors.
resultsOut of 250 completed surveys, most participants (87.2%, n = 218) reported engaging in safe milk-sharing practices and were generally knowledgeable about the health risks associated with milk-sharing. Participant religiosity was associated with somewhat lower hygiene practices (
conclusionThe milk-handling and storage practices of the participants in this study suggest a need to improve knowledge and awareness of safe milk storage temperature and the importance of washing hands before pumping milk, particularly within the religious sector. We propose that guidelines about safe milk-sharing practices be written and adopted by the Israeli Ministry of Health, and communicated through pediatricians, family doctors, nurses in Mother and Child Clinics (In Hebrew:
