Longitudinal Associations Between Maternal Anemia and Breastfeeding Practices on Infant Hemoglobin Levels in the Lao People's Democratic Republic.
Trial report in Nutrients, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundAnemia is a chronic condition that disproportionately affects women and children. Anemia shows detrimental long-term impacts on maternal and child health and development, with the highest burden observed in low- and middle-income countries. In the Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR), anemia is prevalent in 39% of women of reproductive age, 47% of pregnant women, and 43% of children under five.
objectiveOur study evaluates associations between maternal anemia at pregnancy and postpartum and infant hemoglobin (Hb) levels in early infancy. We further investigate the influence of breastfeeding practices on this association.
methodsData from the Social Transfers for Exclusive Breastfeeding ongoing randomized control trial (RCT) (
resultsAnemic mothers at pregnancy and postpartum saw a 1.89 g/L (adjusted 95% CI: -4.48 to 0.70,
conclusionsA weak negative association was found between maternal anemia during pregnancy and the first year postpartum and infant Hb levels. However, among anemic mothers at postpartum, adhering to WHO breastfeeding recommendations may help to mitigate this impact.
