Effect of Online Infant Care Education Based on Meleis's Transition Theory on Breastfeeding Success and Discharge Readiness: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in International journal of nursing practice, 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
aimThe aim of this study is to examine the effects of online infant care training given to pregnant women, based on Meleis's Transition Theory, on breastfeeding success and readiness for hospital discharge in the postpartum period.
backgroundIn countries that implement early discharge policies after birth, theory-based care interventions and training women on infant care during pregnancy are very important.
methodsThis randomized controlled trial was conducted in a public hospital between December and May 2023. The study sample consisted of 102 (intervention group n = 52, control group n = 50) mothers and infants. Online infant care education based on Meleis's Transition Theory was given to the mothers in the intervention group in the last trimester of pregnancy.
resultsThe total breastfeeding success score was 8.88 ± 1.04 in the intervention group and 5.32 ± 1.18 in the control group; the Hospital Discharge Readiness Scale total score was 150.00 ± 19.75 in the intervention group and 133.54 ± 21.28 in the control group. There were significant differences between the intervention and control groups regarding mothers' breastfeeding success scores (β = 49.50, p < 0.001) and hospital discharge readiness scores (β = 756.00, p < 0.001).
conclusionThe findings demonstrate that the intervention significantly enhances breastfeeding success and hospital discharge readiness among mothers. The substantial improvements observed in the intervention group suggest that this approach is an effective and viable strategy for clinical practice. Integrating such structured support programmes into predischarge care is essential for healthcare professionals to optimize maternal and neonatal health outcomes.
