Successful Design and Assessment of a Breastfeeding Support Program Using Intervention Mapping.
Article in Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo design and test the feasibility of a complex intervention to increase breastfeeding rates and improve clinical practice.
methodsThe six-step intervention mapping process was employed: [i] needs assessment, [ii] definition of performance objectives, [iii] selection of methods and applications, [iv] program design, [v] planning for implementation and [vi] planning for evaluation. The Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding served as the foundational framework. During step [i], three pilot studies were conducted. One study involved primiparous mothers: one group received standard care and the other additional breastfeeding information. Two studies examined infant sleep; the first was a focus group with healthcare professionals, analysed through qualitative content analysis and the second randomised families to standard care or sleep education.
resultsThe pilot studies [i] showed increased exclusive breastfeeding rates, effective use of sleep-related materials by healthcare professionals and greater parental attunement. Performance objectives [ii] focused on attitudes, skills and norms for professionals and practices and expectations for organisations. Theories [iii] included attachment theory and self-efficacy. Program design [iv] featured parental information and professional training. Implementation [v] and evaluation [vi] used the Ten Steps as indicators.
conclusionIntervention Mapping supported the development of a feasible, theory-based breastfeeding support program with contextual relevance.
