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: To explore the lactating nurses' experiences of return to work after lifting COVID-19 lockdown. Background: Return to work is a key reason for the low rates of breastfeeding. Especially after lifting COVID-19 lockdown, case counts reached recorded highs. So lactating nurses face more challenges when they return to work. Method: The empirical phenomenology method was used to conduct a qualitative study. Lactating nurses were recruited in a tertiary hospital through purposive and snowball sampling, and participated in semi-structured video interviews. Colaizzi's method was used to analyze the data. Results: Three themes and 10 sub-themes emerged from the interview data of 15 participants. The first theme was "preparation for return to work", which helped lactating nurses adapt to return to work quickly. The second was "experiences of return to work". The inconvenience of pumping was mentioned repeatedly. In addition, the flexible work schedule was highlighted. The third was "experiences of infection". The attitudes toward breastfeeding differed due to different perceptions of COVID-19. Conclusions: Lactation nurses easily interrupted or stopped breastfeeding when they returned to work after lifting COVID-19 lockdown. Recommendations include the further provision of longer periods of leave, flexible working arrangements, separate facilities for breast pumping, and breastfeeding strategies for epidemics.
