Effect of Teté dance on lactation session duration in irritable infants in peru assessed in a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
Infant irritability often shortens breastfeeding sessions, contributing to early weaning. The "Teté Dance," inspired by Peruvian Amazonian traditions, combines rhythmic maternal movements with cheerful music to soothe infants and extend feeding sessions. Objective To evaluate the impact of the "Teté Dance" on breastfeeding session duration. Design Single-blind, parallel, randomized controlled trial within a volunteer initiative providing virtual breastfeeding counseling to Peruvian mothers. Infants aged 4-20 weeks (N = 150) with unexplained irritability were randomized (1:1) to the intervention (n = 75) or control (n = 75) groups. The intervention group practiced the Teté Dance, while controls used usual consolation methods. Mothers recorded breastfeeding durations in diaries. The primary outcome was the change in breastfeeding session duration from baseline to 7 days. Staff blinded to group assignments verified entries. Compared to baseline, the intervention group showed a significant increase in breastfeeding session duration after 7 days (36.4 vs. 29.6 min; mean difference + 6.8, 95% CI 4.7-8.9). The "Teté Dance" increased breastfeeding duration by 23%, offering a community-based, low-cost intervention to support lactating mothers. Future studies should explore its long-term effects and applicability in diverse settings.
