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

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for the first 6 months of life is critical for infant survival and development. Objectives: This study examines how these factors affect EBF knowledge, attitude, and practices among antenatal women at Sultania Zanana Hospital, Bhopal. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1000 antenatal women with at least one live child. A structured interview schedule collected sociodemographic data, knowledge of recommended feeding guidelines, and past breastfeeding practices. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests to identify significant associations ( Results: Younger mothers aged 20-25 years constituted 51.8% of the sample, but they were significantly less likely to initiate breastfeeding early ( Conclusion: Sociodemographic factors-especially age, religion, literacy, and mode of delivery-significantly influence breastfeeding practices.
