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
aimTo measure the prevalence of BF amongst Brazilian children aged 12-24 months, assess associated social determinants and evaluate the impact of maternal knowledge about its benefits.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted between September and December 2024, using an online questionnaire completed by Brazilian mothers with children aged 12-24 months. Sociodemographic data were collected, including maternal and child age, education level, marital status, ethnicity, household income and employment status. Additional information was gathered on prenatal care, breastfeeding within the first hour of life, guidance received on BF and factors related to the continuation/interruption of BF.
resultsOver 70% of the 403 mothers surveyed were breastfeeding beyond 12 months. The main influencing factors in the continuation of BF were knowledge of its benefits (87.6%) and personal desire (78.4%). Attending more than six prenatal visits, being aware of WHO recommendations and receiving guidance on the maternal benefits of BF and on milk expression/storage were significantly associated with breastfeeding beyond 12 months of age (p < 0.05). Having a younger child negatively impacted prolonged BF (p = 0.005).
conclusionsProlonged BF is influenced by multiple factors, and healthcare professionals can play a key role in promoting it by implementing health education strategies focused on the maternal benefits of breastfeeding and milk expression/storage. Ensuring adequate prenatal care and family planning is also essential.
