Does infant sensory responsiveness explain exclusive breastfeeding 6 months after birth?-a cohort prospective study.
Article in Translational pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Although exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is recommended for the first 6 months of life, breastfeeding rates in most developed countries are low. Sensory over-responsivity (SOR) has been found to interfere with infant and childcare, development, and routines, but has not yet been examined as a breastfeeding barrier. The aim of this study was to explore the association between infant sensory responsiveness and EBF and whether it can predict EBF cessation prior to 6 months of age. Methods: In this cohort prospective study participants were 164 mothers and their infants recruited 2 days after birth in a maternity ward between June 2019 and August 2020. At this time, participating mothers completed a demographic and delivery information questionnaire. At 6 weeks after birth, the mothers completed the Infant Sensory Profile 2 (ISP2), reporting their infants' sensory responsiveness in daily activities. At 6 months, infants' sensory responsiveness was assessed using the Test of Sensory Functions in Infants (TSFI) and the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-3 Results: The incidence of atypical sensory responsiveness (mostly of the SOR type) at 6 weeks was twice as high among NEBF infants than EBF infants (36.2% Conclusions: Infant atypical sensory responsiveness, predominantly of the SOR type, was found to predict NEBF at 6 months after birth. This study contributes to the understanding of EBF barriers, highlighting the importance of early identification of SOR in infants. Findings may suggest developing early sensory interventions and providing individualized breastfeeding support tailored to the infant's unique sensory profile.
