Percent mother's own milk feedings for preterm neonates predicts discharge feeding outcomes.
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 3 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
introductionNo studies have determined if there is a threshold whereby use of mother's own milk (MOM) during hospitalization predicts exclusive MOM feeding at discharge.
methodsAmong 113 very low birthweight neonates, the ratio of MOM to enteral feeds was measured in the first 14 days, 28 days, and overall hospital stay. The primary outcome was exclusive MOM feeding at discharge.
resultsFor every 1% increase in MOM consumption in the first 14 and 28 days, the odds of being discharge home on an exclusive MOM diet increased nearly 7-fold (OR 7.01, 95% CI: 2.09-23.50) and 17-fold (OR 17.46, 95% CI 4.67-63.31), respectively. A threshold of >50%, >83%, and >85% MOM consumption compared to overall enteral feeds in the first 14 days, 28 days, and throughout hospitalization, respectively, is recommended.
conclusionsPromotion of MOM consumption in the first 2-4 weeks is of paramount importance, with negligible impact of increasing MOM consumption after 28 days.
