1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeIntimate partner violence (IPV) during the breastfeeding period endangers women's health and well-being. From a caring science perspective, it may be understood as suffering, potentially reduced through caring. This study aims to describe the meaning of caring, as experienced by women exposed to IPV during the breastfeeding period.

methodsNine women with experience of IPV during the breastfeeding period participated in lifeworld interviews, analyzed phenomenologically following the methodological principles of reflective lifeworld research (RLR).

resultsCaring, as experienced by women exposed to IPV during the breastfeeding period, means

conclusionsFor care to be caring in this context it needs to be lifeworld-led and based on insights into the existential situation of breastfeeding women exposed to IPV. Through an encounter of mutual invitation and trust, caring has the potential to be an existential refuge, enabling rest, confirmation, reflection and escape from loneliness.
