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: Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of healthcare professionals regarding the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) practices are one of the most promising means of increasing the prevalence of initiation, duration and exclusive breastfeeding. Hence, we aimed to assess healthcare professionals' knowledge, attitude, and practices toward Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiatives practices within accredited and non-accredited Baby- Friendly Hospitals. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was performed in 7 Jordanian hospitals (3 accredited BFHI and 4 are non-accredited BFHI) consisted of 280 healthcare professionals who were working in maternity wards and providing healthcare for mothers and their newborns. The data was collected through a four-part self-reported questionnaire that consisted of: sixteen questions on socio-demographic data, twelve questions related to knowledge, eighteen questions about healthcare professionals' attitude and thirteen questions related to the practices toward BFHI. Results: Most of the study population (accredited and non-accredited BFHI) had a good level of knowledge (96.1% and 87% respectively) and more than half had an adequate attitudes level (65% and 61% respectively). There was a statistically significant moderate positive relationship between knowledge and attitudes levels ( Conclusions: Healthcare professionals (HCPs) in accredited BFHI have better knowledge, attitudes, and practices than HCPs in non-accredited BFHI. Training of all HCPs in BFHI skills is necessary to implement the ten steps policy for the purpose of improving and promoting mother's and infant's health.
