Effects of Traditional and Innovative Safe Breastfeeding Pillows on Postpartum Maternal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy, Awareness, and Comfort: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Journal of nursing management, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05687383 (The Effect of Modified Pillow on Safety During Breastfeeding), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of an innovative "Safe Breastfeeding Pillow" on postpartum maternal self-efficacy, awareness, and comfort during breastfeeding.
methodsA participant- and outcome assessor-blinded, parallel randomized controlled trial was conducted. Postpartum mothers were randomized into intervention and control groups. The intervention group used the innovative Safe Breastfeeding Pillow, which includes a main pillow and an additional pillow that can be wrapped around the baby to maintain a stable feeding posture and reduce the risk of accidents due to maternal fatigue during breastfeeding. The control group used a U-shaped breastfeeding pillow as usual. Outcome measures included the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF), Breastfeeding Awareness Scale (BAS), Body Part Discomfort Scale (BPDS), and B-R-E-A-S-T-Feed Observation Form. Statistical analyses included Chi-squared tests, independent t-tests, and linear regression.
resultsIn total, 128 mothers (64 each in the intervention and control groups) were enrolled. No differences were found between the two groups in demographic characteristics. The BSES-SF did not significantly differ between the groups. The intervention group reported significantly higher scores for the BAS (3.58 ± 0.04 vs. 1.60 ± 0.15, p < 0.0001). In the BPDS, the intervention group showed significantly higher comfort levels in all body parts during breastfeeding compared to the control group (3.52 ± 0.13 vs. 1.70 ± 0.33, p < 0.0001). Both groups exhibited increased emotional bonding at the initial assessment and at discharge according to the B-R-E-A-S-T-Feed Observation Form.
conclusionsThe innovative Safe Breastfeeding Pillow effectively improved maternal comfort, safety, and breastfeeding awareness compared to a traditional pillow. It provides essential support and warmth, enhancing the overall breastfeeding experience and maternal well-being. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nursing leaders should incorporate the "Safe Breastfeeding Pillow" into routine care as a key strategy to ensure feeding safety, enhance maternal comfort, and improve breastfeeding rates.
