Women's experiences of breastfeeding during pregnancy: a Turkish descriptive study.

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
backgroundBreastfeeding is generally terminated when the mother becomes pregnant again within two years because there is no clear consensus on how to manage breastfeeding during pregnancy. Additionally, health professionals may not have accurate information about this issue. This study aimed to determine women’s attitudes towards breastfeeding during pregnancy and why they stopped breastfeeding when they became pregnant.
methodsThis study is a descriptive one, involving pregnant mothers with a breastfeeding infant under 2 years old (n = 101). The participants were followed up regarding those who had given birth to a new child and chosen the BDP. The researchers surveyed them after birth. The data were collected using a survey form that included a total of 26 questions created by the researchers, which aligned with the existing literature. Data were collected using a questionnaire that included information about maternal, neonatal, and obstetrical data, as well as breastfeeding experience and problems encountered during pregnancy. Data were handled and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics v22.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).
resultsThe mean age of the mothers was 29.3 years (SD ± 4.9), gravidity was 3.2 (SD ± 1.7), and parity was 2.5 (SD ± 1.1). The mean age of the breastfed children was 12.6 months (SD ± 5.3) when the mothers became pregnant again. The reasons for stopping breastfeeding were professional advice (35%, n = 34), their own decision (30%, n = 30), believing that breastfeeding could have adverse effects on the unborn baby, and social pressure (16%). Only 5% (n = 5) of mothers continued breastfeeding between 7 and 9 months after pregnancy.
conclusionsOur results indicate that when a mother wishes to breastfeed during pregnancy, providing breastfeeding counseling by healthcare professionals with accurate information is essential to sustain lactation and maintain the well-being of the breastfeeding child without harm to the unborn baby.
