Efficacy of an Online Nursing Consultation to Encourage Breastfeeding.

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
objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of an online nursing consultation on the Red Sinapsis (RS) Internet platform in increasing maternal self-efficacy and exclusive breastfeeding rates during the first month postpartum.
methodsThis study employed a controlled, randomised experimental design with two groups. Ninety women who had undergone caesarean sections were randomly assigned to either an intervention group (n = 45) or a control group (n = 45). The intervention group received follow-up care from a breastfeeding expert nurse on the RS online platform, while the control group received standard follow-up care from a midwife or primary care nurse. Breastfeeding success was measured using the LATCH scale at 15 days postpartum and the BSES-SF scale at 30 days postpartum. For comparative analysis between study groups, Fisher's exact test or the chi-squared test was used, depending on the contingency table dimensions. Missing values were not imputed. P-values below the 0.05 threshold were considered statistically significant.
resultsA total of 84% of the intervention group showed greater confidence in providing breast milk to their children, compared to 44% of the control group (p < 0.001). The intervention group also achieved better outcomes in terms of believing that breastfeeding alone is sufficient to nourish their baby, with 82% expressing confidence, compared to 59% in the control group (p = 0.041).
conclusionsOnline nursing follow-up during the immediate postpartum period improves maternal confidence in breastfeeding, promoting its initiation and establishment during the first month postpartum.
