Article in Materia socio-medica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: The attitudes of breastfeeding mothers and healthcare professionals greatly influence decisions about initiation of breastfeeding, duration of breastfeeding, and repeated breastfeeding in multiparous women. Objective and Methods: This research aimed to examine, through a questionnaire, the attitudes of breastfeeding mothers and healthcare professionals about breastfeeding in the area covered by the district nurses of the Zagreb-West Health Center. 76 mothers and 74 healthcare professionals participated in the study, which was conducted during 2021. Results: All healthcare professionals (100%) believe that breastfeeding in the first 6 months is important, and 97% of them believe that they are adequately educated about proper breastfeeding techniques. Furthermore, 98% of them believe that they provide mothers with all the necessary help and support regarding breastfeeding. 93% of healthcare professionals support breastfeeding in public. Most breastfeeding mothers were over 30 years old and had a higher level of education. Only 47% of women in the maternity unit had skin-to-skin contact, while 73% stayed in the room with their baby. In 89% of women, the first breastfeeding occurred within the first hour after birth. The greatest assistance during breastfeeding was provided to mothers by healthcare personnel (94%). Conclusion: Continuous education of healthcare professionals and raising public awareness about the importance of breastfeeding must be a priority for every society.
