Predictors of breastfeeding among women in Lao People's Democratic Republic: a prospective cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in global women's health, 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
Breastfeeding is a worldwide practice that provides many health benefits for both mothers and babies. However, many women still do not breastfeed for the recommended duration, or even at all. Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), a country in Southeast Asia, has very low breastfeeding rates compared with neighboring countries. We conducted a prospective cohort study to identify predictors of breastfeeding among women in Lao PDR. Participants in this study were drawn from a multigenerational birth cohort that was launched in Vientiane Capital, Lao PDR, in 2020. A survey was conducted at approximately 1 month postpartum, which included both breastfeeding and non-breastfeeding women. In unadjusted analyses, we found that maternal age, education level, and occupation were associated with breastfeeding status at 30 days postpartum. After adjustment, occupation, daily physical activity, joint pain, and exclusive breastfeeding intention were the metrics associated with breastfeeding status. These findings suggest that prenatal intention and maternal health characteristics are associated with breastfeeding continuation in Lao PDR. The results emphasize the importance of further research to identify breastfeeding practices.
