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

The exclusive breastfeeding rate of Chinese infants aged up to six months was lower than 50%. This study aimed to assess the infant feeding attitude of pregnant women, and investigate associations between breastfeeding knowledge, body image and infant feeding attitude. This study designed as a multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted from November 1, 2024 to December 5, 2024 in two maternal hospital of China. The Iowa infant feeding attitude scale, breastfeeding knowledge questionnaire and body image in pregnancy scale were used. Multiple linear regression analysis and the restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis were performed to analyze their associations. Totally 568 pregnant women with high breastfeeding knowledge were more likely to favor to breastfeeding (β = 0.443, p < 0.01), while pregnant women with high body image had a negative attitude toward breastfeeding (β = -0.076, p < 0.05). The RCS analyses further identified that breastfeeding knowledge and body image had a statistical association with infant feeding attitude in pregnant women. Besides, a positive breastfeeding attitude appeared at when breastfeeding knowledge was ≥ 13 score (p
