Effectiveness of Relactation Supportive Program in Sustaining Exclusive Breastfeeding: A Prospective Observational Study.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionRelactation is the process of re-establishing breastfeeding after stopping or after a period of little breastfeeding. The study aimed to assess the Relactation Supportive Program (RSP)'s efficacy in sustaining breastfeeding and to determine the impact of RSP on breastfeeding initiation, timing, and correlation with the lactation gap.
methodsA prospective observational study was done with 60 infant-mother dyads, aged seven days to 14 weeks who stopped breastfeeding for 6-28 days or never breastfed. Mothers in the RSP group received hands-on guidance on techniques like supplemental feeding methods and nipple stimulation, alongside psychological and emotional support. In the Routine Counseling (RC) group, mothers received counseling about the benefits of breastfeeding, breast milk expression, correct attachment, and motivation for breastfeeding.
resultsIn the RSP group, 21 infants achieved and sustained exclusive breastfeeding by six months (p=0.003), compared to 10 in the RC group. RSP initiated lactation earlier (10.04±4.02 days, p=0.002) than the RC group (13.43±3.59 days). Relactation duration was inversely correlated with the lactation gap.
conclusionRSP significantly promoted earlier and sustained relactation compared to RC alone.
