Regulation of Gut Microbiota through Breast Milk Feeding Benefits Language and Cognitive Development of Preterm Toddlers.
Article in Microorganisms, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Feeding practice is essential to growth and development of preterm toddlers. However, the relationship of feeding mode with gut microbiota and neurodevelopment outcomes of preterm toddlers has not been characterized fully. We conducted this cohort study to assess neurodevelopment outcomes and gut microbiota community structures of preterm toddlers who received either breast milk, formula or mixed feeding. Fifty-five preterm toddlers born <37 weeks and 24 term toddlers were recruited in the study. Bayley III mental and physical index scores were measured among preterm toddlers at 12 ± 2 and 18 ± 2 months corrected age (CA). Gut microbiome composition was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing in fecal samples collected from all participants at 12 months, 16 months and 20 months after birth. We found exclusive breast milk feeding for over three months in the first six months after birth was associated with significant increase in language composite score at 12 months CA (86 (79,97) vs. 77 (71.75,79),
