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
Introduction: Practices promoted by the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative have become a part of the current mainstream postpartum infant care. However, adherence to rooming-in practice by health-care facilities is lower than that of other steps under this initiative. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the experiences in implementing the rooming-in policy among first-time mothers at a postpartum center. Methods: The present study is a qualitative research conducted using the descriptive phenomenological method. This study was performed at a postpartum care center in Southern Taiwan between August 2018 and December 2018. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 postpartum mothers during their postpartum care center stay. Results: Based on interview data, this study identified three main themes about implementing full-time rooming-in experiences: (a) against the rule of taking plenty of rest during the postpartum period, (b) negative experiences and myths regarding implementing rooming-in experience, and (c) postpartum care centers service content affect first-time mothers' willingness to implement rooming-in. Conclusions: In postpartum care centers, first-time mothers' willingness to implement full-time rooming-in significantly decreases due to the effects of the "doing-the-month" culture, postpartum physical recovery status, stress of the rooming-in experience, myths regarding rooming-in practice, trusting professional neonate care services more than own care, and attitude toward payment for services.
