Factors associated with intention to breastfeed in Vietnamese mothers: A cross-sectional study.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionBreastfeeding has many benefits for mothers, children, and the environment over both the short and longr-term. Prenatal intention to breastfeed is a powerful predictor of short-term breastfeeding outcomes.
objectiveThis study aims to analyze breastfeeding intentions, including the intention to feed infants with breastmilk only and to continue exclusive breastfeeding to 6 months among pregnant mothers in Hanoi, Vietnam.
methodsThe analysis included 1230 singleton mothers, between 24- and 36-weeks' gestation, who attended antenatal clinics in two hospitals in Hanoi in 2020.
resultsThe proportion of mothers with an "breastfeeding intention" (i.e., intention to feed an infant with breastmilk only) and "exclusive breastfeeding intention" to 6 months was 59.9% and 41.7%, respectively. Mothers who were 25 years or older (aOR = 1.35, 95%CI:1.00-1.81), had an undergraduate educational degree or higher (aOR = 1.38, 95%CI: 1.08-1.76), had observed another woman breastfeeding (aOR = 1.43, 95%CI: 1.03-2.00), were not living with parents-in-law (aOR = 1.34, CI: 1.05-1.70), and were multiparous (aOR = 1.60, 95%CI: 1.16-2.19) had higher odds of "exclusive breastfeeding intention" to 6 months. Among primiparous women, those who thought their husbands support breastfeeding were more likely to intend to feed an infant with breastmilk only. Among multiparous women, feeding the previous child with breastmilk exclusively before the introduction of complementary foods and not giving solid foods together with water until 6 months, were significant predictors for both breastfeeding intentions.
conclusionMothers without exclusive breastfeeding experience should be provided with greater support to promote exclusive breastfeeding intention and outcomes.
