Effectiveness of Telemedicine-Based Intervention on Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy in Iranian Women: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Iranian journal of public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Background: Breastfeeding self-efficacy (BSE) is a modifiable factor that can enhance breastfeeding rates. Telemedicine constitutes safe and low-cost health services that can be developed for the interaction between professionals and clients. Therefore, this study aimed to review the effectiveness of telemedicine-based intervention on BSE in Iranian women. Methods: This systematic and meta-analysis review was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. English databases including Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Persian databases including SID, Magiran, and IranMedex was searched until Aug 1, 2023 to identify randomized control trials about telemedicine-based interventions on BSE in Iran. The search strategy was focused on terms and eligibility criteria. Data analysis was done using CMA V.2 software. The risk of bias in the included studies was assessed. Results: Out of 385 articles, eight articles that met the inclusion criteria were included in the meta-analysis. The overall result demonstrated that telemedicine-based interventions have a positive impact on BSE compared with the control, especially in the long-term intervention (pooled SMD= 1.27; 95% CI= 1.01-1.53, Conclusion: This review could give insight to healthcare providers into the effect of telemedicine on BSE. Therefore, by strengthening BSE through telemedicine interventions, especially for women who do not have the conditions for face-to-face counseling, we can expect positive results.
