Effective Interventions to Prevent Breastfeeding-Related Nipple-Areolar Lesions: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in International journal of environmental research and public health, 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
This study synthesizes the evidence on effective interventions for the prevention of breastfeeding-related nipple-areolar injuries. A systematic review was performed and guided by the evidence synthesis manual of the Joan Briggs Institute, carried out in six databases, with only intervention studies. Interventions with a positive outcome for the prevention of nipple-areolar lesions were considered effective. Methodological quality was assessed by the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation. The final sample of 14 articles found the following to be effective strategies: educational practices (simulations and demonstrations of the breastfeeding technique, with a qualified professional or by video) and the use of peppermint (aqueous solution or gel), extra virgin olive oil, honey, guaiazulene ointment, and venix caseosa. Each intervention was used in specific situations and ways, which should be considered for use in clinical practice. The interventions discussed can help prevent nipple-areolar lesions and breastfeeding difficulties, encouraging breastfeeding.
