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
Background: Breastfeeding is essential for infant health and maternal well being, yet China continues to experience relatively low breastfeeding rates, with significant regional disparities. Yunnan Province, characterized by its unique demographic and geographic profile, may face even greater challenges. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and factors of breastfeeding practices in Yunnan Province using data from the 2008, 2013, and 2018 National Household Health Services Surveys (NHHSS). Methods: This cross-sectional study included 742 mother-child pairs in 2008, 909 in 2013, and 620 in 2018. We assessed key breastfeeding indicators, including overall breastfeeding rate, early initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months or longer, continued breastfeeding for at least 1 year, and timely introduction of complementary foods. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the associations between breastfeeding practices and maternal, child, and health service-related factors. Results: The overall breastfeeding rate in 2018 was 94.35%, with no significant difference across the three survey years ( Conclusion: While the overall breastfeeding rate in Yunnan Province is relatively high, the rates of exclusive and continued breastfeeding remain low. The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and stronger social and health system support to promote sustained breastfeeding practices. Enhanced public education and maternal support services are crucial for improving breastfeeding outcomes in the region.
