1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Pregnancy emotional states can influence postpartum colostrum delivery, and lactational capacity establishes 1-5 days postpartum. Breast milk production capacity is key to promoting breastfeeding. This study applied positive psychology interventions to late-pregnancy primiparous women, aiming to explore how emotional regulation affects postpartum lactation-related hormone changes and in-hospital breastfeeding outcomes. Participants were recruited from a gynecology and obstetrics hospital in China. Positive writing interventions were delivered via WeChat electronic questionnaires: the control group recorded "first three things" and the intervention group "three good things," twice weekly. Key outcomes (lactation hormones, neonatal milk consumption, breastfeeding outcomes) were collected, and generalized estimating equations (GEE) were used to analyze repeated-measurement data. Jan-Aug 2022, 204 (95 intervention, 109 control) were finally analyzed after excluding dropouts. GEE analysis showed the intervention group had a significantly higher resilience score than the control group (15.55 vs. 15.01; Wald χ
