Lactation safety of cardiovascular medications.
Review in American heart journal plus : cardiology research and practice, 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
Breastfeeding is the gold standard for infant feeding with well-established maternal, neonatal, and pediatric benefits. Patients with preexisting cardiovascular disease have lower breastfeeding rates than the general population. While little evidence exists regarding specific barriers to lactation in patients with preexisting cardiovascular disease, concerns regarding lactation safety and medication exposure in mothers with cardiovascular disease may be a cause for early breastfeeding cessation despite known health benefits. This literature review highlights the lactation safety of common cardiac medications. While some common cardiac medications may have limited safety data available, general pharmacokinetic principles of drug secretion in lactation can help to guide shared decision making in discussion with the patient. Enhancing provider knowledge regarding cardiac medication safety during breastfeeding may improve lactation outcomes in this population.
