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

Breast milk insufficiency is a significant public health concern, as it directly affects infant nutrition and immunity. Inadequate milk production remains a major barrier to effective breastfeeding, and it is reported in approximately 60 -90% of mothers in low- and middle-income countries. Emotional stress, anxiety, lack of sleep, and maternal illness are various psychological and physiological factors that influence breast milk production. Galactagogues are used to induce, maintain, and increase breast milk production. Commonly used galactagogues include domperidone, metoclopramide, chlorpromazine, and sulpiride. These medications are associated with side effects such as xerostomia, gastrointestinal disorders, cardiac arrhythmia, lethargy, sedation, and hypertension. In Ayurvedic classical texts, several drugs possessing sthanya janana properties are described.
