Women satisfaction with breastfeeding care in maternity hospitals: a survey from Italy.
Article in Italian journal of pediatrics, 2026. 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
objectivesThis study examines the satisfaction of women with the breastfeeding support they received in a sample of Italian maternity hospitals as part of postnatal care.
methodsBetween November 15th and December 15th, 2023, a 20-items questionnaire was administered to 20 mothers who were consecutively discharged from each of the 26 Maternity Hospitals, that participate in a national project on the promotion of breastfeeding.
resultsA total of 520 questionnaires were collected. Overall, the evaluation provided by women regarding the postnatal care was positive. The health team was perceived as welcoming, communicating clear information, practically and emotionally supporting, helpful in teaching how to take care of their baby and respectful of the mother-baby relationship. Moreover, the team was considered attentive to preventing and treating pain experienced by new mothers. In 20.2% of cases, women reported that the information provided about support resources after hospital discharge was lacking.
conclusionsThe current study indicates that most women view postpartum care and breastfeeding support positively. However, positive results in studies assessing women's satisfaction must be interpreted with caution, as the relationship between expectations and satisfaction is not always clear. Additionally, we need to carefully consider what women report on insufficient information provided at hospital discharge, which may impact subsequent support.
