Concentrating human milk: an innovative point-of-care device designed to increase human milk feeding options for preterm infants.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to determine whether a point-of-care osmotic device concentrates important human milk (HM) nutrients to support feeding neonates requiring high-nutrient, low-volume feedings. STUDY
designRaw and pasteurized HM samples were concentrated to determine the effects of time and temperature on concentration. Concentrated samples were compared with matched baseline samples to measure changes in selected nutrient concentrations. Furthermore, changes in concentration of certain bioactive components of raw milk samples were measured.
resultThe device significantly increased the concentrations of the majority of the measured nutrient and bioactive levels (p < 0.05). Increasing temperature of HM from 4 to 37 °C increased the concentration rate >30%. In all cases, the concentration rate of pasteurized HM was greater than that of raw HM.
conclusionsThe osmotic concentration of HM is a promising option for neonatal nutrition. Further studies are needed to establish an evidence base for the practical applications of this point-of-care device.
