Effectiveness of family integrated lactation management on breastmilk feeding outcomes among preterm babies - A pilot study.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2025. 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
Background: Preterm infants often face challenges with breastfeeding due to the delayed lactogenesis and feeding complications, while families, especially fathers, play a pivotal role in supporting breastfeeding. Family Integrated Lactation Management (FILM) is a structured intervention designed to address these challenges through family engagement, skill training, and personalized lactation support. Objective: This pilot study assessed the feasibility of implementing FILM and its impact on breastfeeding outcomes among preterm infants. Methods: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) with 30 preterm babies was conducted, assigning participants to FILM or Attention Control Group (ACG) using stratified block randomization. FILM included simulation-based parental training, lactation counseling, and family support sessions. The primary outcomes were breastfeeding rates at discharge, maternal and paternal breastfeeding self-efficacy, measured using translated and validated tools. This study is registered in Clinical Trials Registry-India (CTRI/2022/10/046204). Results: FILM demonstrated higher exclusive breastfeeding rates at discharge (77%) compared to ACG (62%). Participants in the FILM group reported improved breastfeeding self-efficacy and satisfaction. The Tamil-translated lactation scales were found feasible and culturally appropriate. Recruitment and follow-up processes were successfully executed, with minor logistical challenges. Conclusion: FILM is a feasible and effective intervention to enhance breastfeeding outcomes among preterm infants. Its structured, family-integrated approach addresses both clinical and cultural needs, making it a promising model for lactation management for preterm babies.
