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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate maternal and paternal perceptions of breastfeeding self-efficacy in the postpartum period in Turkey between December 2023 and June 2024.
methodsThe present study was designed as a cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 150 mothers and 150 fathers, making a total of 300 participants. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using the "Descriptive Information Form for Mothers and Fathers," the "Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale," and the "Paternal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form." Data collection was carried out between December 2023 and June 2024. The obtained data were analyzed using the SPSS 25.0 statistical program, and a statistical significance level of p<0.05 was accepted.
resultsMothers' scores were higher than fathers' scores (p<0.001). It was found that paternal breastfeeding self-efficacy significantly affected mothers' breastfeeding self-efficacy (r=0.520, p<0.001). In the multiple regression analysis, monthly income, breastfeeding education, and the time of first breastfeeding were found to affect mothers' breastfeeding self-efficacy (R2=0.099, p=0.02). Also found that employment status, breastfeeding experience, and planned pregnancy variables affected paternal breastfeeding self-efficacy (R2: 0.161, p<0.001).
conclusionEmpowering fathers about breastfeeding with in-service training and multidisciplinary approach is very important to increase breastfeeding rates. In addition, it is recommended that fathers should be handled together with pregnant women from the prenatal period, and counseling services should be provided to support the positive development of their perspective on breastfeeding.
