Breastfeeding Conversations with a Home Visitor and Breastfeeding Continuation in Postnatal Enrollees.
Article in Maternal and child health journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionBreastfeeding is associated with many health benefits for both mothers and children, yet U.S. breastfeeding rates are far below the Healthy People 2030 goals. Furthermore, disparities in breastfeeding rates exist, whereby some demographic groups have even lower rates. This study examines the association between dosage of breastfeeding conversations with a home visitor on breastfeeding continuation in participants who enrolled postnatally.
methodsThis cohort study examines the impact of breastfeeding conversations with a home visitor on breastfeeding continuation on 1,422 mother-child pairs enrolled postnatally in Healthy Families New York (HFNY), a family support home visiting program. Multivariable logistic regression models analyzed longitudinal data, adjusting for several known predictors of breastfeeding that could confound the association between breastfeeding conversations and breastfeeding continuation.
resultsThe analyses reveal a significant association between the rate of breastfeeding conversations during home visits in the preceding period and increased odds of breastfeeding continuation for 1-2 months (p = 0.013), 2-3 months (p < 0.001), 3-6 months (p < 0.001), and six months or greater (p = 0.001). The dose-response relationship and longitudinal nature of the data could suggest causality. Importantly, the impact of breastfeeding conversations is more pronounced among mothers born in the U.S., a group with known disparate breastfeeding outcomes. Further, this study finds that the number of home visits predicts breastfeeding continuation past six months (p < 0.001). DISCUSSION: This study offers important insights into the role of a home visiting intervention to promote breastfeeding and reduce breastfeeding disparities without the excessive costs of an intervention designed solely for breastfeeding.
