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
Objective: This study estimated the percentage of mothers who received samples of breast milk substitutes at medical facilities and examined the relationship between receipt of the samples and breastfeeding practices in Japan. Methods: We used the data from the "The Japan COVID-19 and Society Internet Survey (JACSIS)" conducted in 2021. Two groups of mothers were analyzed: mothers 0-5 months postpartum ( Results: The proportion of mothers who received the samples was 82.4%. We found that mothers who received the samples were found to be less likely to continue "exclusive breastfeeding under five months" (odds ratio: 0.71, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.51-0.98). In addition, a similar trend was found in a subsample analysis restricted to mothers who intended to breastfeed during pregnancy (odds ratio: 0.62, 95% CI: 0.40-0.94). Conclusions: This study showed that more than 80% of mothers had received the samples of breast milk substitutes, and that receipt of the samples decreased the probability of their practicing exclusive breastfeeding. Regulating distribution of the samples at medical facilities is necessary to prevent interruptions of exclusive breastfeeding.
