Article in Maternal & child nutrition, 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
Artificial intelligence-based conversational tools such as ChatGPT are increasingly used by mothers to obtain health-related information during early motherhood. This study aimed to explore and describe the experiences and perceptions of primiparous mothers using ChatGPT as a source of information for breastfeeding and early infant care. A qualitative descriptive study was conducted. Fifteen primiparous mothers in Türkiye were recruited using purposive sampling from a pediatric outpatient clinic. Data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth online interviews and analyzed using Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis. The study followed the COREQ checklist to enhance methodological transparency. A total of 15 primiparous mothers participated in the study (28.7 ± 2.5 years). The mean age of infants was 4.2 ± 1.6 months, and most were female (73.3%). All participants reported regular internet access and used smartphones to access ChatGPT, with use ranging from daily to a few times per month. Three main themes emerged: (1) ChatGPT as an accessible alternative information source in early motherhood; (2) the role of ChatGPT in reducing uncertainty in early motherhood, characterized by support in unfamiliar situations, reassurance during moments of concern, and strengthening decision-making skills and maternal confidence; and (3) rare use of ChatGPT, reflecting mothers' deliberate avoidance of the tool in serious or complex infant health situations and their preference for personalized professional support. ChatGPT may serve as a complementary information resource during early motherhood, offering reassurance and confidence for everyday care; however, it cannot replace individualized professional healthcare support.
