A novel heat treatment protocol for human milk.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Human milk (HM) is the recommended nutrition for premature infants, but it may require processing to ensure microbial safety. The current standard is Holder pasteurisation (HoP), i.e. heating milk at 62.5 ± 0.5°C for 30 min, which eliminates bacteria but destroys heat labile bioactive HM components. We aimed to test an alternative thermal method, high-temperature short-time (HTST) pasteurisation using a modified Holder pasteurisation platform as this method has shown to preserve proteins in experimental HM flow pasteurisers. We analysed the ability of this batch process to eliminate bacterial species and to retain alkaline phosphatase, secretory immunoglobulin A and lactoferrin in HM. HTST at 81°C/5 s was as effective as HoP in bacterial count reduction while the retention of bioactive components was only improved at 62°C/5 s as compared to 72°C/5 s and HoP. HTST is a promising alternative to HoP but an optimal temperature-time combination needs to be determined for each technical platform separately.
