Article in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aims: The most effective intervention to reduce child morbidity and mortality both in developed and developing countries is the promotion of optimal breastfeeding practices. Breastfeeding practices are usually affected by influential people in the family, such as the husband. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of a couple-based optimal breastfeeding promotion and support intervention on the frequency of child morbidity in central Ethiopia. Methods: A two-arm, parallel, cluster randomized controlled trial was carried out among couples in a community setting in the Hadiya Zone, Central Ethiopia. A total of 408 couples from 16 clusters were randomly assigned to either the intervention group ( Results: In the 6-month follow-up, 34.5% of infants remained healthy with no episodes of illness. In this trial, the incidence of morbidity was decreased by 92.7% (IRR = 0.073, 95% CI: 0.039-0.138, Conclusion: Couple-based optimal breastfeeding promotion intervention has shown a protective effect against the frequency of neonatal and infants morbidity, highlighting the effectiveness in community settings of this optimal breastfeeding counselling model that includes the father.
