Scaling Smart: The Potential of Digital Strategies to Promote Breastfeeding in Low- and Middle-Income Countries.
Article in Maternal & child nutrition, 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
Digital technologies are increasingly used to promote and support breastfeeding, particularly where access to skilled lactation counseling is limited. This Perspective argues that such tools should complement, not replace, in-person care and should be integrated into maternal and child health systems in low- and middle-income countries. Drawing on lessons from large-scale digital health initiatives, it highlights the importance of equity, government ownership, and sustainability. The paper also emphasizes the need for pandemic and emergency preparedness in digital strategies to ensure continuity of breastfeeding support when face-to-face services are disrupted. It concludes with key priorities for policymakers and implementers to design, evaluate, and scale digital breastfeeding interventions responsibly and equitably.
