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

In India, cultural beliefs prevalent in numerous societies hamper the proper implementation of breastfeeding practices, which may adversely affect the normal development of infants. Therefore, it is of interest to assess breastfeeding awareness among mothers, emphasising on evaluating their knowledge, attitudes, and current breastfeeding practices as well as to compare findings with previous researches of a similar nature. Total 100 randomly selected mothers of infants visiting a tertiary care hospital were interviewed with predefined questionnaires. Questionnaires were based on assessment of knowledge, attitude and their breastfeeding practices. The study concluded that while the majority of mothers demonstrated adequate knowledge, positive attitudes, and appropriate breastfeeding practices, there are specific areas where maternal education still requires attention.
