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
Introduction: Postpartum sleep patterns are embedded within complex caregiving environments, including infant feeding, nighttime caregiving demands, and maternal recovery. This cross-sectional study aimed to characterize maternal sleep patterns and explore variation in sleep across infant feeding contexts, exclusive and partial breastfeeding practices among women at 1 month postpartum in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Methods: Sleep patterns were assessed using a commercial wearable device, and reported breastfeeding indicators included exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) status, feeding frequency during day and nighttime, and breast milk expression practices. Adjusted linear and logistic regression analyses were used, adjusting for covariates. Results: The average daily sleep duration was 5.53 hours (SD: 1.36), falling substantially below adult recommendations. The prevalence of EBF was 47.7%, with mothers breastfeeding an average of 6.8 times (SD: 1.3) during the day and 2.8 times (SD: 0.6) at night. After adjusting for socio-demographic, reproductive, and caregiving-related covariates, feeding group was not significantly associated with either device-measured sleep duration (adjusted β = -0.31, 95% CI: -0.68, 0.06) or the likelihood of sleeping ≥5 hours (adjusted PR = 0.94, 95% CI: 0.65, 1.36). Also, there were no statistically significant associations between daytime or nighttime breastfeeding frequency or pumping frequency and sleep duration. Discussion: These findings highlight the complexity of postpartum sleep within real-world caregiving environments, suggesting that factors beyond feeding practices alone may contribute to variation in maternal sleep. This study provides empirical insights into maternal sleep in an urban LMIC setting and highlights the growing role of wearable devices in assessing postpartum sleep.
