1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundDespite increasing breastfeeding initiation rates in the United States, disparities in breastfeeding continuation and exclusivity by race and ethnicity persist. RESEARCH

aimWe aimed to understand the perceptions and experiences of Latina parents who received access to telelactation, and assessed the implications of integrating telelactation into pediatric settings.

methodsThis cross-sectional qualitative study drew from participants enrolled in a randomized controlled trial about breastfeeding support. We recruited 20 participants from among those participating in a randomized controlled trial assessing the effect of telelactation on breastfeeding outcomes. The study design was informed by an Equity-Centered Model and authentic entry. We conducted a thematic content analysis through an iterative approach, where we systematically generated themes to describe code application patterns.

resultsWe identified three themes: (1) telelactation within the broader landscape of breastfeeding support; (2) perceptions of telelactation support; and (3) recommendations on the use of telelactation in the context of pediatric care. We found that participants had an escalation approach for seeking breastfeeding support and propose a new model: Breastfeeding Support Escalation Protocol, which can be applied to lactation support in pediatric care. Parents' perceptions and recommendations highlighted their desire for care coordination, expanded options for telelactation engagement, and care continuity, which are important reflections for pediatric offices considering integrating telelactation services into their practice.

conclusionsLatina parents found telehealth to be helpful and an acceptable alternative to in-person services. Pediatric offices can take steps toward becoming Breastfeeding-Friendly by partnering with telelactation services. More research is needed on the logistical implications and cost-effectiveness of telelactation services as part of the pediatric practice.
