Diet diversity, growth and adiposity in healthy breastfed infants fed homemade complementary foods.

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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesInfant complementary feeding is important for establishing food preferences. Few studies exist on the effects of infant complementary feeding choices (food preparation methods) on dietary intake, growth or adiposity. We examined whether provision of homemade complementary food is associated with the development of dietary diversity, nutrient intakes and quality of infant growth. SUBJECTS/
methodsSecondary analysis of feeding practices from a randomized trial of vitamin D supplementation in 132 healthy breastfed 1-month-old infants from Montréal, Canada. This longitudinal study used diet records, anthropometric and body composition data (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) from assessments that occurred when infants were 6, 9, 12 and 36 months of age. Infants were grouped into three categories of food preparation method on the basis of whether or not they had consumed homemade or commercial meat or fruit and vegetable by 9 months (homemade, commercial and both). Multivariable regression controlled for family income, maternal education and infant sex.
resultsDietary data were available for 65 infants. By 9 months, 22% of infants had exclusively received homemade (n=14), 14 infants had exclusively received commercial and 37 infants had received both. The development of dietary diversity (number of World Health Organization-recommended food groups) was higher (0.76 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.14, 1.38); P<0.05) in the homemade group versus commercial. Energy and nutrient intakes did not differ by group over time. The homemade group had 773 g (-1364, -182; P<0.01) lower whole-body fat mass and 7.1% (-12.6, -1.6; P<0.05) lower % body fat at 12 months compared with the reference group (both homemade and commercial). Reduced whole-body fat mass in the homemade group persisted at 36 months (-696 g (95% CI: -1341, -52); P<0.05). There were no differences between groups for changes in growth Z-scores (length-for-age, weight-for-age and body mass index-for-age).
conclusionsProvision of homemade complementary food is associated with increased dietary diversity during the first year of life and reduced adiposity.
