Breastfeeding Education Across the Perinatal Period: A Descriptive Exploratory Pre-Implementation Study.
Article in Journal of mother and child, 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
backgroundBreastfeeding is the optimal infant feeding method; however, cessation rates remain high across many developed nations. Support for mothers can be improved through breastfeeding education that spans the entire perinatal period. Due to the number of healthcare providers involved, delivery of breastfeeding education must be consistent and tailored to individual needs. Digital innovations are a potential solution to enhance accessibility and consistency in breastfeeding education delivery. How to best implement these solutions in clinical settings is not yet known. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe used a non-experimental, exploratory descriptive survey to collect mothers' and providers' experiences of breastfeeding education, and their perceptions of how an eHealth resource can be adapted and implemented to standardise breastfeeding education.
resultsThe surveys were completed by 93 providers and 78 mothers. Mothers reported receiving education from diverse providers across the perinatal period, with varying information at different time points. Information was received on many topics that changed at various times. Oral communication was ranked as the most frequent education method. Both groups reported that online videos and websites would be the most effective digital solutions to support breastfeeding education.
conclusionProviders play a crucial role in supporting mothers through education delivery that spans the entire perinatal period. By integrating the findings, accessibility and consistency of breastfeeding education could be enhanced by implementing the eHealth resource across organisations in a health region.
