Effect of Motivational Interviewing on Exclusive Breastfeeding in Working Mothers: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

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
objectivesGlobally the rate of exclusive breastfeeding at 6 months postpartum remains low. We aimed at evaluating the effect of an intervention involving motivational interviewing (MI) and implementation intentions (IMI) on promoting exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) in Chinese working mothers.
methodsA randomized controlled trial was conducted, in which 460 new mothers from 4 hospitals were recruited. Mothers in the intervention group (MI group) received MI via telephone at 8 weeks postpartum and completed online IMI questionnaire 1 week later. Mothers in the control group received usual care. The primary outcome was moderation effect of breastfeeding self-efficacy (BSE) on the between-group difference in the likelihood of continuing EBF at 6 months postpartum. Intention-to-treat (ITT) and sensitivity analyses (SA) were conducted.
resultsAlthough the results based on ITT was insignificant, SA showed significant moderation effect of BSE (log odds = 1.23, 95% CI: 0.20-2.26).
conclusionsThe present study revealed that single-session MI telephone-based intervention helped boost maternal motivation for EBF, especially for those with inadequate BSE. Public health interventions that help nurture breastfeeding friendly culture in the workplace and community should be coupled with individualized interventions to dampen early cessation of breastfeeding.
