Factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding during postpartum in Lanzhou city, China: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Aim: Breastfeeding generates short-term and long-term benefits for both mother and child. Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is promoted in China for years, but its practice still lags far behind the international average, even among low- and middle- income countries. This study aimed to investigate factors associated with EBF during postpartum. Methods: This study was conducted in a tertiary referral hospital in Gansu Province, Northwest China from October 2019 to April 2020. 3,738 postnatal women were finally included and each of them completed an elaborately designed questionnaire. Infant feeding patterns (EBF or not) and reasons for NEBF (non-exclusive breastfeeding) were collected. The feeding knowledge score was based on 17 questions in relation to breastfeeding. The total score ranges from 0 to 17. Higher score means better understanding about breastfeeding knowledge. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to determine associated factors of EBF during postpartum. A subgroup analysis was conducted to investigate the association between feeding knowledge score and exclusive breastfeeding. Results: Six weeks after childbirth, 1891 mothers (50.6%) maintained EBF. Among the NEBF mothers, 57.01% ( Conclusion: We need a comprehensive and individualized framework of strategies to support children, mothers and their families. During puerperium, improving maternal knowledge of breastfeeding is beneficial to EBF practice. However, for ethnic minorities and those with less active breastfeeding attitudes, breastfeeding knowledge is of limited use, more researches are needed to explore the uncovered reasons, so that more personalized interventions could be developed for them.
