Validation of a scale to measure fathers' confidence in supporting breastfeeding.

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
objectiveThe objective of this study was to describe the process of cross-cultural adaptation of the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form among Fathers for use in Brazil.
methodsThis is a cross-cultural adaptation study that began with the translation from the original English into Portuguese, followed by back translation. A committee of experts evaluated the semantic, idiomatic, experiential, and conceptual equivalences. The pre-test of the Brazilian version of the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form among Fathers was conducted with 10 fathers whose children were in the breastfeeding period. To assess the psychometric properties, a cross-sectional study was carried out involving 131 fathers with children in the breastfeeding phase. Factor analysis with principal component extraction and item response theory were used in data analysis.
resultsThe Brazilian version of the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form among Fathers presented an overall Cronbach α of 0.852. Very closely distributed factors explained 55.6% of the total variance in the principal component analysis. The item response theory showed that all questions have discriminatory characteristics.
conclusionThe cross-cultural adaptation process was carried out within validated international parameters and represents a potential instrument for promoting maternal and child health in Brazil.
