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
Breast milk is the optimal nutrition for infants. However, the proportion of mothers who exclusively breastfeed their children in Germany is low (40% end of 4th month; 13% end of 6th month). A systematic evaluation of breastfeeding promotion has ranked Germany as moderately breastfeeding-friendly. Therefore, the federal government has commissioned the Department of Child Nutrition at the Max Rubner-Institut to coordinate the interdisciplinary development and implementation of a German National Strategy for the Promotion of Breastfeeding. In a participatory process, over 150 stakeholders have conceptualized measures to promote breastfeeding in seven strategic fields: (1) "Evidence-based guidelines," (2) "Basic/advanced training and continued professional development," (3) "Prevention and healthcare structures," (4) "Breastfeeding promotion by municipalities," (5) "Breastfeeding in the workplace," (6) "Marketing of breast-milk substitutes," and (7) "Systematic breastfeeding monitoring." Measures include e.g., the development of an evidence-based medical guideline for breastfeeding duration and interventions to promote breastfeeding as a basis for education and training for involved occupational groups. Another measure is to establish a new research field at the Department of Child Nutrition to develop a systematic breastfeeding monitoring system. Additional measures concern the development of more breastfeeding-friendly framework conditions in healthcare structures, municipalities, and in the workplace, as well as regulations for the marketing of breast-milk substitutes and the development of communication strategies to promote breastfeeding. Following the adoption by the Federal Cabinet, the strategy serves as the basis for a sustainable improvement of breastfeeding promotion in Germany.
