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
objectiveWe evaluated maternal and infant factors that influence lactation success within the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and the impact of early lactation support. STUDY
designThis was a retrospective cohort study of 862 maternal-infant dyads admitted to the NICU. The relationship between lactation support and discharge home receiving mother's own milk (MOM) was examined after adjusting for demographic and clinical covariates.
resultInfants whose mothers who had 4-6 lactation visits within the first 14 days were 8.93 times more likely to discharge receiving MOM (95% CI 4.86-16.40, P < 0.05). Infants born to mothers who were White, primiparous, partnered, had private insurance, and with higher household incomes were more likely to discharge receiving MOM.
conclusionAt least 4 lactation visits within the first 2 weeks postpartum increases the likelihood of infant discharge on MOM. Hospitals should provide adequate access to lactation consultants to account for this need.
