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
backgroundMother's milk improves outcomes. Referral neonatal intensive care units face unique lactation challenges with maternal-infant separation and maternal pump dependency. Little is known about lactation resource allocation in this high-risk population. RESEARCH
aimsTo determine differences in human milk outcomes, (1) the proportion of infants fed exclusive or any mother's milk and (2) recorded number and volume of pumped mothers' milk bottles, between two models of lactation care in a referral neonatal intensive care unit.
methodsThis retrospective, longitudinal, two-group comparison study utilized medical record individual feeding data for infants admitted at ≤ Day 7 of age and milk room storage records from reactive and proactive care model time periods (April, 2017-March, 2018; May, 2018-April, 2019). The reactive care model (
resultsA proactive lactation approach was associated with an increase in the receipt of any mother's milk from 74.3% to 80.2% (
conclusionsIn this retrospective study at a tertiary referral neonatal intensive care unit, significant improvement inhuman milk outcomes suggests that increased resources for proactive lactation care may improve mother's milk provision for a high-risk population.
