Article in Iranian journal of nursing and midwifery research. 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
Background: Maternal self-efficacy plays a pivotal role in achieving exclusive breastfeeding (EBF). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of virtual breastfeeding counseling based on Rapport building, Exploration, Decision-making, and Implementation (REDI) approach on breastfeeding self-efficacy (BSE) and EBF rates among breastfeeding women. Materials and Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted in comprehensive health centers in Hamadan City, Iran, from 2023 to 2024. Using the block randomization method, 70 eligible participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control groups. Data were collected using a demographic and reproductive characteristics checklist, the Breastfeeding Self Efficacy Scale (BSES), and a breastfeeding status follow-up checklist. The intervention consisted of one face-to-face breastfeeding counseling session followed by ten virtual sessions guided by the REDI model consultation framework. Data were analyzed using Stata software, with statistical significance set at Results: There were no significant differences in demographic and reproductive characteristics between the study groups, and mean (SD) BSES scores before the intervention ( Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that virtual counseling intervention is effective in improving breastfeeding outcomes. Specifically, these interventions appear to enhance BSE and increase EBF rates during the critical first 6 months postpartum.
