Observational study in Atencion primaria, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo assess whether there is an association between immediate skin-to-skin contact (ISSC) and breastfeeding in the first hour of life (BF1H). This study also determined the association of other factors, such as prenatal and delivery care, with initiating BF1H.
designRetrospective and observational using data from the UNICEF Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS). UNICEF databases from Mexico, Costa Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Argentina were employed. Participants were women (15-49 years) and their infants.
resultsIn all countries, the lack of ISSC was associated with not initiating BF1H. In Cuba, Argentina, Costa Rica, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic, lack of prenatal care, cesarean delivery, introduction of commercial infant formula (CIF) within 3 days of life, and failure to observe breastfeeding within 2 days of life were associated with not initiating BF1H. In Mexico, introduction of CIF within 3 days of life was associated with not initiating BF1H.
conclusionsRegardless of the health context and the MICS survey period, CIF was associated with the initiation of breastfeeding in all countries. In all countries, failure to initiate BF1H was associated with the introduction of CIF in the first 3 days of life. These findings may support the planning of interventions to promote breastfeeding.
