Facilitators and barriers to establishing lactation among women with diabetes?
Article in Diabetic medicine : a journal of the British Diabetic Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
aimTo identify the facilitators and barriers to establishing lactation among women with diabetes in pregnancy.
methodsA qualitative descriptive study involving face-to-face semi-structured interviews with 13 postpartum women. An inductive, data-driven content analysis approach was utilised. This study followed the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) guidelines.
resultsFacilitators to breastfeeding and establishing lactation among women with diabetes included antenatal colostrum harvesting during the antenatal period and support from health care professionals. Barriers included emotional self-efficacy challenges and a lack of support from healthcare professionals in the hospital setting.
conclusionWomen with diabetes report further challenges establishing breastfeeding due to delayed lactogenesis ll (secretory activation), hypoglycaemia and self-efficacy challenges. Given the adverse health risks for mother and infant associated with not breastfeeding, women with diabetes require individualised person-centred lactation care plans to maximise their opportunity to experience a successful breastfeeding journey.
