Successful lactation after resuming methylphenidate in a woman with narcolepsy.

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
backgroundNew mothers with narcolepsy face difficult decisions about medications and breastfeeding in addition to the more typical challenges of becoming a parent. Scant data are available to guide these choices. CASE: A 30-year-old gravida 1, para 1(G1P1) woman with narcolepsy with cataplexy fed her infant breastmilk for 7 months by exclusive pumping. She chose to discontinue her stimulants at delivery and restarted methylphenidate when her infant was 13 weeks old. The woman tracked milk production on an app geared toward new parents. Average daily volume was 751 ± 228 mL before and 822 ± 177 mL after restarting methylphenidate. Her infant's growth was appropriate and did not decrease after resuming medications.
conclusionsIn this new mother with narcolepsy, resuming methylphenidate did not reduce breastmilk volumes or negatively impact her infant. Tracking apps and other technologies can increase patients' confidence and provide data to address gaps in medical knowledge. CITATION: Bello G, Poirier J, Sharkey KM.
