1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To review and summarise interprofessional breastfeeding curricula-educational initiatives involving multiple health professions-that have been proposed for undergraduate or pre-registration health students. This review will help guide the development of future Interprofessional Education (IPE) curricula for undergraduate health students, specifically in the area of breastfeeding care. Introduction: Breastfeeding care and support from healthcare professionals are vital for breastfeeding success. To ensure mothers receive high-quality, consistent care, healthcare professionals must receive comprehensive, evidence-based breastfeeding education. However, there is limited understanding of how breastfeeding curricula are delivered across different disciplines in undergraduate health programs, particularly in the context of IPE. Inclusion criteria: Primary research designs, including quantitative, qualitative and mixed-method studies and evidence syntheses of primary research including systematic and scoping reviews that meet the inclusion criteria will be considered. Position papers and policy documents will also be considered for inclusion in this scoping review. Methods: Medline (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCO), ERIC (EBSCO), Social Sciences, and Cochrane Databases of Systematic Reviews will be searched with English language and date restrictions (2005-current). Titles and abstracts and full-text articles will be independently screened by two reviewers. The reference lists of the included studies will be searched. A grey literature search will be undertaken on Google scholar, BASE and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) website in October 2024. Studies will be screened in Covidence by two independent reviewers. All reviewers will agree on the included studies. Data will be extracted and presented graphically using figures and tables. Narrative summary text will accompany the tables and figures.
