Impact of web based lactation support on exclusive breastfeeding, maternal motivation and breastfeeding challenges: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05950048 (THE EFFECT OF WEB-BASED BREASTFEEDING COUNSELING GIVEN TO MOTHERS ON FULL BREASTFEEDING AND BREASTFEEDING MOTIVATION AND PROBLEMS), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundThe study aimed to evaluate the impact of a midwife- designed, visually and audibly enriched web-based breastfeeding counseling program on exclusive breastfeeding, breastfeeding motivation, and breastfeeding - related challenges during postpartum period.
methodsThe study employed a single-center, prospective, two-arm (1:1), randomized controlled experimental design. The sample consisted of 64 mothers (intervention group = 32; control group = 32) who delivered at a university hospital between January 01 and September 01,2023. Data were collected using the Maternal descriptive information form, Postpartum breastfeeding assessment and follow-up form, Breastfeeding motivation scale, Breastfeeding problems assessment scale, face-to-face within 24 h postpartum and online at the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th months. Frequency, percentage values, mean, standard deviation, chi-square test, t-test, one-way and two-way ANOVA tests for repeated measures were employed for data analysis.
resultsThe rate of exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months was significantly higher in the intervention group (90.6%) compared to the control group (65.6%). Mothers in the intervention group exhibited significantly higher mean scores in the integrated regulation, intrinsic motivation, and identified regulation subscales of the BMS at the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th month follow-up tests compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Additionally, the total score average of the Breastfeeding problems assessment scale decreased over time in the intervention group, while it increased in the control group, with a moderate effect size (pη2 = 0.027). Furthermore, the majority of mothers in the intervention group found the WBBC application instructive and useful.
conclusionsThe study findings provide evidence that web-based breastfeeding counseling effectively reduces breastfeeding problems, enhances breastfeeding motivation, and improves exclusive breastfeeding rates for the first six months postpartum.
trial registrationThe study was retrospectively registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05950048) and the first regisration date was 7/8/2023.
