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

objectivesto estimate the combined prevalence of maternal satisfaction with breastfeeding and associated factors.

methodsa systematic prevalence review, according to the PRISMA and JBI protocols. Searches were conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and CINAHL, using the "Breastfeeding" and "Personal Satisfaction" descriptors. Data were extracted, tabulated, and presented in a meta-synthesis, applying meta-analysis to quantitative data.

resultstwelve studies published between 2003 and 2024 were included. The results indicated moderate maternal satisfaction with breastfeeding. Higher scores were observed in conditions favorable to breastfeeding and when breastfeeding was longer, and lower scores were observed in cases of early weaning, unmet expectations and intentions regarding breastfeeding, as well as complications in the process. Professional support contributed to satisfaction.

conclusionsfactors that influence satisfaction with breastfeeding were revealed. However, the subjectivity of the concept and the multiplicity of measurement instruments may have contributed to the studies' high heterogeneity.
