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
backgroundThis study aimed to explore the relationship between social support, breastfeeding success, and breastfeeding self-efficacy levels in adolescent mothers, as well as the factors affecting breastfeeding self-efficacy.
methodsFollowing ethical approval, The Socio-Demographic Data Form, the Breast Milk and Breastfeeding Information Form, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Short Form Scale (BFSES) and the LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnostic and Assessment Scale were used to collect data and the study was completed with 163 participants.
resultsThe rate of exclusive breastfeeding was found to be 41.1%. Mothers who exclusively breastfed their babies had higher scores on the MSPSS, LATCH, and BFSES scales. Additionally, breastfeeding self-efficacy levels were higher among mothers who initiated breastfeeding within 1 h after birth. The study also found positive correlations between social support, breastfeeding success, and breastfeeding self-efficacy.
conclusionsIn conclusion, social support networks, including partners, mothers, and mothers-in-law, should be incorporated into breastfeeding training programs to help adolescent mothers leverage these resources effectively. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
