Nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward breastfeeding in neonatal care: a survey.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Breastfeeding promotion is a cornerstone of neonatal nursing, as it plays a pivotal role in safeguarding the health and fostering the development of newborns. This study aimed to assess neonatal nurses' Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) regarding breastfeeding for hospitalized neonates and identify factors influencing these domains. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among neonatal nurses between July 1 and August 30, 2025. Eligible nurses were recruited via a rigorous screening process, and data were collected using a validated KAP scale. Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate (FDR) adjustment addressed multiple comparison biases, and comprehensive regression assumption checks (multicollinearity, residual normality, homoscedasticity) were performed to ensure result validity. Results: A total of 122 neonatal nurses were included. Based on predefined scoring benchmarks (Low: ≤90; Moderate: 91-140; High: ≥141), participants demonstrated a moderate level of overall breastfeeding-related KAP (mean ± SD: 134.28 ± 14.02). Hierarchical regression analysis revealed: (1) Knowledge was significantly predicted by age ( Conclusion: Neonatal nurses exhibited positive attitudes but moderate knowledge and practice levels regarding breastfeeding, with targeted gaps in evidence-based care and parental education. These findings highlight the need for tailored training programs-prioritizing younger nurses, those with less experience, lower educational/professional titles, and untrained individuals-to enhance breastfeeding-related competence.
