Health professionals' knowledge and attitudes towards baby led weaning: A cross-sectional, exploratory, and observational study.
Observational study in PloS one, 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
Baby Led Weaning (BLW) is a type of infant feeding that allows babies to feed themselves and has gain popularity among parents in recent years. Health professionals' (HP) knowledge and attitudes towards BLW is less explored. We conducted a cross-sectional, exploratory, and observational study, with a web-based instrument, that aimed to determine the knowledge and attitudes of HP familiar to BLW regarding the use of this method in complementary feeding. In our sample of 118 HP, HP who were women or younger (23-39 years) had a more positive perception of BLW. We found that acceptance and positive attitudes towards BLW were consistent among HP. It is essential to improve the training of HP in the specifics of implementing this approach and to develop clear guidelines to guide practice.
