Human milk pH is associated with fortification, postpartum day, and maternal dietary intake in preterm mother-infant dyads.
Observational study in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTo compare pH of human milk types (mother's own milk (MOM), pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM), fortified MOM, and fortified PDHM) fed to preterm infants. STUDY
designThis observational study consisted of 63 mother-infant dyads < 34 weeks gestation. Human milk samples (n = 245), along with maternal factors, were collected for pH analysis. pH of MOM was analyzed over the course of lactation accounting for fortification status, postpartum day, and storage conditions.
resultsMean pH of MOM was slightly acidic at 6.60 ± 0.28, which was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than other milk types. pH of MOM varied by fortification, postpartum day, and maternal vegetable/fiber intake. There was a significant interaction between fortification status and postpartum day; pH of MOM decreased over time, while pH of fortified MOM increased over time.
conclusionpH of human milk varied by type. pH of MOM was significantly associated with fortification status, postpartum day, and maternal vegetable/fiber intake.
