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
aimThe aim was to describe mothers' experiences of breastfeeding support at a family centre.
designThe study employed a qualitative approach using a descriptive design.
methodsMothers enrolled at a family centre in western Sweden who used breastfeeding support based on the World Health Organization's 10 steps, were voluntarily selected to participate. Data were collected by an open-ended questionnaire from May to September 2023 and analysed using inductive qualitative content analysis.
resultsThe results indicated that mothers received support in the form of communication, actions and emotional care at the family centre. Accessible and continuous breastfeeding support was provided, rooted in their experiences during pregnancy and after giving birth. This was achieved through meaningful communication and by gaining knowledge via education with someone attentive to their breastfeeding story. Concrete support was offered, including practical advice and guidance to address breastfeeding challenges. Additionally, the mothers felt respected in their breastfeeding decisions and experienced empathetic, supportive care.
conclusionsBreastfeeding support and guidance are crucial to assisting mothers and respecting their individual needs. Effective support encompasses communication, actions and emotional care, strengthened by collaboration among actors to ensure accessibility and personalised care. The cooperative approach to breastfeeding at the family centre provides health-promoting and preventive primary care from a family-oriented perspective. PUBLIC CONTRIBUTIONS: A total of 31 mothers' participated by answering the open-ended questionnaire. Their responses contributed significantly to the content of this study.
