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

Background: In Sweden, evidence-based breastfeeding support is provided as part of the 2022-2027 Swedish Food Agency's breastfeeding strategy. Despite 98% of mothers intending to breastfeed, exclusive breastfeeding rates have dropped from 82% in 2014 to 67% in 2022. Child health service nurses offer guidance regarding breastfeeding to women and their partners. The aim of this study was to explore the challenges perceived by nurses in child health services in providing breastfeeding support to mothers in Sweden. Materials and methods: Qualitative methodology, using semi-structured interviews with 12 purposively recruited Child Health Service Nurses (CHSN) in southern Sweden. The interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using qualitative content analysis. Results: The analysis identified three main categories, eleven sub-categories and one overall theme: " Conclusion: The study highlights challenges in breastfeeding support among CHSNs, underscoring the need for evidence-based, person-centred care. Further education and guidance are essential to improve support and advance global health goals.
