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
During the perinatal period, mothers make decisions on how to feed their infants. Adolescent mothers can have additional challenges in the decision-making process (e.g., lack of autonomy, lack of support from professionals). We conducted a qualitative evidence synthesis to explore adolescent mothers' experiences in making infant feeding decisions, identify their support needs, and understand the role of healthcare professionals in supporting them through this process. Following a systematic search, 51 studies were included. Thematic synthesis was used and identified themes and sub-themes. The four themes are: autonomy and the roles of others; changes in feeding decision making; mothers' self-efficacy in breastfeeding; and experiences of formal support from healthcare professionals. We found that adolescent mothers still have unmet support needs, highlighting the necessity for tailored assistance, including non-judgmental help, follow-up care and easily understandable informational materials to facilitate appropriate infant feeding decision-making.
