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

backgroundBreastfeeding has well-established public health benefits. We investigated the impact of perinatal psychiatric symptoms on reduced breastfeeding rates in an urban university community.

objectiveThis study investigates the relationship between perinatal psychiatric screening of symptoms on plans, initiation, and continuation of breastfeeding. STUDY

designPregnant women ≥18 years recruited from our urban academic clinic completed "My Mood Monitor (M-3)", a validated psychiatric screening tool, and a breastfeeding questionnaire in 3 phases: second trimester (I- plans), postdelivery (II- initiation), and postpartum (III-continuation). Data were analyzed to establish the relationship between breastfeeding, maternal demographics, and the M-3 screening at these corresponding time points.

resultsAlthough 86.3% (N=82) of our cohort planned to breastfeed, 76.1 % (N

conclusionEarly screening for identification and referral for diagnoses with treatment plans for psychiatric symptoms of perinatal anxiety, especially following delivery, may improve breastfeeding rates in urban minorities.
