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

objectiveThis study evaluates the impact of telelactation (video breastfeeding support visits) on breastfeeding satisfaction and the likelihood of breastfeeding another child. Breastfeeding satisfaction is a key person-centered outcome and indicator of breastfeeding success and is associated with a longer duration of breastfeeding.

methodsThis randomized controlled trial randomized pregnant individuals to receive a telelactation app (intervention group) or an infant care e-book (control group). The main outcome measured was self-reported breastfeeding satisfaction at 24 weeks postpartum, while a secondary outcome assessed the likelihood of breastfeeding another child. We estimated unadjusted and adjusted linear regression models for the effect of telelactation on breastfeeding satisfaction and logistic regression models for the effect of telelactation on the likelihood of breastfeeding another child. We also examined whether the effects of telelactation differed by breastfeeding problems experienced.

resultsResults indicated that telelactation significantly improved breastfeeding satisfaction scores by 0.53 points (confidence interval (CI): [0.04,1.04], P = 0.04) and increased the likelihood of participants being very likely to breastfeed another child by 7% (risk ratio = 1.07 [CI: {1.01, 1.14}, P = 0.02]; adjusted risk ratio = 1.07 [CI: {1.01, 1.14}, P = 0.03]). We found no significant differences in outcomes based on race or ethnicity. Further analysis highlighted that telelactation was particularly beneficial for participants experiencing common newborn/premature feeding issues.

conclusionsTelelactation can enhance breastfeeding experiences and satisfaction, with implications for public health strategies targeting new parents.
